Bihar:
Govt in dark about virus deaths
Nishant Sinha, TNN | Jun 3, 2012, 03.31AM IST

PATNA: Encephalitis hits Muzaffarpur and Gaya regions every year, but the state health department is yet to identify the type of virus causing this disease.

There are various types of encephalitis. Last year, in Gaya, experts had said it was Japanese Encephalitis (JE). Health secretary Sanjay Kumar said, in 2011, 15 children had died due to JE while the rest died due to encephalitis. With regard to Muzaffarpur, the state government is not sure whether it was JE or encephalitis. A team of the national institute of virology (NIV), Pune, had come here last year. In its preliminary report, the team had denied that it was JE though its final report was still awaited. A team from Union health ministry had also visited the state in 2011. It had confirmed the disease to be encephalitis though the type of the virus was not identified.

...

Sinha, however, said, "The official data of death figure in the state this year stands at two with both the deaths occurring at Gaya." He denied deaths due to encephalitis in Muzaffarpur, claiming that an intensive campaign had been launched in the district by the health department last year after the outbreak of the disease.
