I picked up this story from Xinhuanet. Via The Himalayan Times: Mystery disease afflicting 50 in Banke.
At least 50 people of Banaghusra in Basudevpur Village Development Committee of Banke district have been suffering from an unknown disease.
Headache, dizziness, fever, cough and diarrhoea are symptoms of this disease, Mansoor Khan, a local, said, adding that the disease has been afflicting senior citizens and children the most.
Raju Sunar of Basudevpur 4 said, "Though we have informed the sub-health post based in the village about the disease, it has not sent health workers to diagnose the ailment and treat the patients."
Meanwhile, officer of the District Public Health Office, Om Upadhyaya, pledged to send a team of health workers to Banaghusra. Basudevpur VDC lies near the township of Nepalgunj.
