Lamka, Jan 13: With the last five patients in isolation under treatment at District Hospital discharged today, the temporary isolation makeshift ward has been cleared of all the all patients who were rushed to the hos-pital after an unknown dise- ase struck Misao Lhahvom village on Monday last.
Forty eight patients were treated in the isolation ward since last week, and after doctors attending them discharged most of them as clinically stable the last bat-ch of five were discharged today.
Evacuation of the highly publicized ward is expected to bring smiles on the villagers but the entire affair appears otherwise as villagers still continue to reel under the illness with fresh reports of villagers being attacked by the same kind of illness continued to reach the media establishment here although the villagers shied away from being taken to the hospital.
‘It’s just that we were ashamed to be admitted to the hospital. But many of us are still suffering from fever, some as recent as last nig-ht,’ Seipao Misao a village elder told The Sangai Express.
On receiving reports about the illness still ravaging the village, this corres- pondent visited the village later in the day and witness-ed 7 fresh cases of similar symptoms among patients treated in isolation. There were more than 20 people who claimed they were not very well, but 7 of them said they had high fever that was compounded with hea-dache and cough since yesterday – symptoms similar to patients in isolation.
Chinkhothang, 48 and her 6-year-old daughter Niangmuankim were still under high fever when this correspondent arrived.
‘We have been suffering from fever and headache since yesterday, I can cope with it to an extent but she has not eaten anything,’ the ailing father said looking down at her still sobbing daughter who rested on his lap. Niangmuankim had been administered at-least 5 doses of medicines since morning but she fails to recuperate.
Vungzahoih, 42 and his son Seitinthang, 14 also claimed that they have been experiencing fever, headache and cough since last night. So was the case for 10-year-old Kamlunsang.
Kimluniang, 32 who had been in the isolation ward attending her daughter said she too developed an illness similar to her daughter since last night.
Lhailam, 70 and Zamng-aiching, 35 also claimed of similar illness but they were attended by a medical team led by the Chief Medical Officer after being directed by the Deputy Commissioner Sumant Singh to inquire on the reports about fresh cases of illness in the village.
Though it was not know whether the CMO team that stay put in village till dark and reportdly examined more than twenty villagers had inspect the above mention villagers, it is starkly clear that all was not well in the village.
A village elder Seilet was discharged from the isolation ward few days after he was admitted to the hospital, but he claimed that he actually was never well ever since he developed the illness on Monday last. Though he was hesitant to disclose the exact nature of his discharge he had hinted on disparity on the medical officials as a reason he was sent back home.
