Sri Lanka::
* Viral fever spreading in Sri Lanka
Monday, November 6, 2006, 13:25 GMT, ColomboPage News Desk, Sri Lanka.
Over one thousand viral fever patients have been reported from the Colombo, Mannar, Kalmunai and Jaffna areas.

Nov 06, Colombo: Sri Lanka's health authorities are fighting to control a viral fever spreading in the country. Already a student of the Sri Lanka Law College has died from the fever, and the Law College hostel has been caught by the virus that has made over thirty students sick.

The Sri Lanka Ministry of Health doubts that there can be a spread of “Chicken Gunya viral fever” (chikungunya fever) in the island. High incidence of this rare form of viral fever spread by mosquitoes has been reported in the state of Kerala in southern India.

Health authorities have taken steps to send the blood samples of these patients to Thailand for special tests. Officials of the Ministry of Health’s Epidemiology Unit say they can ascertain whether the infection is chikungunya fever after receiving the reports. However, the Ministry of Health assured that this is not an outburst of bird flu.

I wonder if they used a crystal ball or Ouji Board for their preliminay test to confirm no bird flu?

things just keep looking a little worse each day it seems. I'm really hoping this will not break out, or if it has to break out, I hope it's not for at least another year. I just have so many things to do and I still have to go to China. I have to go to China in Feb or March, scary, I thought it would be sooner but it will for sure be Feb or March. I've never been there and wish I could just go without worrying about H5 and enjoy it. Hopefully that will be the case.
