Four die in diarrhea outbreak
BANDUNG: Four people have died and 156 others have entered
hospital as a plague of diarrhea swept through Padalarang last
week, a local official said yesterday.
Padalarang administrative affairs chief Iim Imanudin told
Antara that people in eight villages had got diarrhea. He said
those who died were between one and a half years and nine years
old.
Village clinics were crammed with people seeking medical aid
last Thursday.
"Those in a serious condition were sent to hospitals in
Bandung and Cimahi," Iim said.
He said most of those affected were children. "This health
problem usually arises because of insanitary conditions."
