मुजफ्फरपुर में रहस्यमयी बुखार मासूमों के लिए यमराज बना हुआ है. मौत के बुखार का तांडव शुरू होने के करीब 3 हफ्ते बाद देश के स्वास्थ्य मंत्री हर्षवर्धन मुजफ्फपुर पहुंचे. वहां पहुंच कर उन्होंने करीब 4 घंटे तक मरीजों से बात की. जब मंत्री जी अस्पताल के आईसीयू में थे, ठीक उसी वक्त 5 साल की निशा नाम की बच्ची ने दम तोड़ दिया.
The death figure due to Acute Encephalitis Syndrome (AES), locally being called as Chamki, has gripped Muzaffarpur and the adjoining districts in Bihar has risen to 84. Most of the casualties are between the age group of 1 to 10. According to the doctors, the deaths due to Acute Encephalitis Syndrome (AES) are being caused due to excessive heat and humidity. Union Health Minister Harsh Vardhan visited Patna today en route to Muzaffarpur to take stock of the situation there in view of rising cases of Acute Encephalitis Syndrome (AES) or Chamki and Japanese Encephalitis (JE) there. When Union Health Minister Harsh Vardhan was in the hospital, one baby girl died due to Chamki.
