Angola: New clues to mystery illness
The number of people affected by a mystery illness that has already claimed the lives of 4 children on the outskirts of the Angolan capital, Luanda, has climbed to 284. Contaminated food is a suspect but authorities are still in the dark as to the exact cause.
"More than 80 percent [of cases] are children, and the four deaths that happened were kids," Vita Vemba, Luanda's provincial health director, told IRIN. The children who had succumbed to the illness were already weakened by high levels of malnutrition and in one case the child had pneumonia.
