dropped by more than ninety-five percent.

More than one-hundred-twenty-million people have been
infected with lymphatic filariasis.
Six people became ill with
pneumonia.

with flu-like symptoms and atypical pneumonia.

the possibility.

organism causes
the disease.

Asian health officials.

Scientists have tested
the drug in the laboratory.
The mystery pneumonia is called

outbreak.
A total of 43 people have
symptoms of a mysterious flu-like

There is
something
unusual happening, which is
affecting mainly the young imuno-competent individual in the healthcare
setting.
He
said
Doctor Kazura’s research
proves that.
A top scientist says
the illness
is unusual.
Hong Kong's hospital authority says
the agent is most likely an airborne
virus.
Researchers began studying
how the
parasite is spread several years ago.
Doctors had thought
this was a permanent condition.
Scientists found that the spread of lymphatic filariasis
dropped by more than ninety-five percent.
They also discovered that the
treatment reduced the enlargement of the arms, legs and reproductive organs.
Doctor Kazura’s research proves that a World Health Organization campaign to end
lymphatic filariasis is possible.
He added that the rates of flu and pneumonia are
normal.
The illness is unusual in that
it does not strike those with compromised immune systems.
It is
unusual because hospital workers appear to be particularly vulnerable.

Hong Kong outbreaks were related.
None
Hong Kong's Department of Health ruled out

Once infected,
humans can pass
the parasite
back to mosquitoes when bitten again.
To test this
theory, scientists created
a special medicine to kill the female parasite.
Killing the adult female parasite,
it would prevent

virus, but government laboratories are still trying to identify it.
Health authorities
have not identified
