S. Korea issues nationwide warning against encephalitis
SEOUL, Sept. 9 (Yonhap) -- South Korea's health authorities on Friday issued a nationwide warning against the spread of encephalitis for the first time this year, advising people to keep personal hygiene and receive vaccinations.
The Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (KCDC) said it has found the virus of Japanese encephalitis in mosquito samples collected in the southern port city of Busan.
If bitten by virus-carrying mosquitos, people with the weak immune system, usually children, can suffer from fever, vomiting and diarrhea and could die in the worst case, it said.
