Two years ago, the sewage chamber of Raj Smarth colony and its protective wall was bulldozed — with the runoff water seeping onto roads and pavements, over the years, a horrid stench became commonplace for the residents of the area. With nothing to hold back the dirty water, viral infections, cold and cough have become a way of life, says K L Vishwakarma a resident. This year, the area finds itself in the middle of the 'worst outbreak of dengue and chikungunya' in Bhopal. As of now, over 75 positive cases of dengue and chikungunya have been reported from the colony.

The Ugandan government recently reported an outbreak of marburg virus disease in the east of the country. All three people found to have the disease have since died. More than 100 people are now being monitored and the country’s health authorities are holding their breath, waiting for the 21-day incubation period of the virus to pass – hopefully, without further cases being reported.
On average, half of those infected with the Marburg virus will die, however, mortality rates as high as 88 per cent have previously been reported. Thankfully, Uganda has a good track record of handling outbreaks of viruses, including Marburg and its close cousin, ebola.
The latest Marburg outbreak, in the Kween District bordering Kenya, was declared when the first case was confirmed by laboratory tests. The patient subsequently died, but, unfortunately, she had been in contact with family members, including one who travelled to Kenya. It turned out that the patient (the so-called “index case”) was, in fact, not the first case in the current outbreak.
