Tragedy in Gujarat's Kutch: Mysterious Fever Claims Lives

In Gujarat's Kutch district, twelve individuals, including four children, have died due to a mysterious fever. The deaths are believed to be caused by pneumonitis. However, local health authorities have intensified medical surveillance to rule out other potential communicable diseases. Residents continue to experience symptoms including fever, cold, and difficulty breathing.

A mysterious fever has claimed the lives of twelve individuals, including four children, in Lakhpat taluka of Gujarat's Kutch district. Officials suspect pneumonitis as the primary cause of death.

Despite intensified medical services with 22 surveillance and rapid response teams, local district panchayat members say doctors have not been able to accurately diagnose the fever.

The symptoms—fever, cold, cough, and difficulty breathing—have persisted among patients, further complicating efforts to pinpoint the exact cause of the fatalities.
