Encephalitis kills 200 in India
(BBC 24/08/2009)
At least 200 children have died in an outbreak of Japanese encephalitis in northern India, health officials say. So far, 900 affected children have been admitted to hospitals in Uttar Pradesh state. Some patients have come from neighbouring Bihar state and Nepal. There is no specific cure for the mosquito-borne disease which has killed thousands in India since 1978. Health experts complain that red tape has prevented development of an effective vaccination programme.
