Gujarat's First Chandipura Virus Death Confirmed: 4-Year-Old Girl Succumbs as Outbreak Spreads

A 4-year-old girl in Gujarat has died from the Chandipura virus, marking the state's first confirmed fatality.

With 29 reported cases and 14 suspected deaths, the virus is causing concern across multiple districts.

The Chandipura virus, first identified in Maharashtra in 1965, causes fever, flu-like symptoms, and acute encephalitis.

Transmitted primarily by sandflies, it particularly affects children.

Symptoms progress rapidly from high fever to potential encephalitis, coma, or death if untreated.
