Pune’s National Institute of Virology has confirmed that the disease which has killed over 200 people in Bihar isn’t Japanese encephalitis. The acute encephalitis syndrome(AES) that has killed 233 children in Bihar since May is not Japanese encephalitis, it was announced Thursday. The ruling has come from the Pune-based National Institute of Virology (NIV). ”In fact the disease remains a mysterious one,”
Additional Secretary (Health) R.P. Ojha said. ”NIV has told the Bihar government that no one had a positive strain for Japanese encephalitis,” he said. According to him, the NIV collected cerebral spinal fluid and blood samples of 73 patients from Muzaffarpur district. Earlier this month, Health Minister Ashwani Kumar Choubey announced that the mysterious disease was AES. Ojha said of the 599 children with AES symptoms admitted to hospitals in Muzaffarpur, Patna and Gaya, 233 have died.

Dear Anonymous,Thank you for your wise, balanced, and gonereus response.I make the following comments with the thought that you are a young person. As I read your most recent comment a statement from the Messianic Psa. 110:3 came to mind: “… Arrayed in holy majesty, from the womb of the dawn you [Messiah / Christ] will receive the dew of your youth.” You seem really concerned that Biblical truth and its practical application in relation to one’s life as a Christ-follower, be authentically applied. Very refreshing! And I’m also reminded of the message from Joel 2 and Acts 2 that God would pour of his Spirit in the latter times on people at every station in life, on the old and the young of both genders, and that they would prophesy / speak forth in the name of the Lord.Thank you for doing that.May the blessing of the Lord rest on your life, always.
