NAWALPUR: A woman has died from Japanese Encephalitis at Nawalpur of Nawalparasi (Bardaghat Susta East).

According to the Chief of the District Health Office, Nawalpur, Keshav Prasad Chapagain, the deceased has been identified as the 66-year-old woman of Kawasoti-2.

She was admitted to a Chitwan-based hospital on August 23 and died on the next day. It was the first case of death from Japanese Encephalitis in the district in the current fiscal year, shared Chief Chapagain.

Japanese Encephalitis was confirmed only after the death of the woman as it takes time to get the test report.

Similarly, a 15-year-old girl from Devchuli municipality-15, suffering from Japanese Encephalitis, is receiving treatment at ICU of a hospital in Chitwan, mentioned Chapagain.

Japanese Encephalitis has been detected at two local levels of the District and blood sample of some people living in these areas is being collected today for the test.
