KATHMANDU, Aug. 28 (Xinhuanet) -- Mysterious disease tolls reached nine after two more people died on Saturday of the disease that broke out in a eastern district in Nepal, a local government officer confirmed here Sunday.

"The two of them died within hours after being infected by the disease on Saturday night in Beltar area of Udayapur district, some 300 km east of Kathmandu," Jeevan Prasad Oli, chief district officer, told reporters.

The outbreak of the unknown disease already claimed the lives of seven patients in Beltar, Sudarpur and Siddipur villages of the district in the past few weeks.

The symptoms included high fever, headache as well as bleeding from the nose and vomiting blood, Oli noted, adding, "Patients infected with the disease have been taken to a hospital in Dharan city for treatment."

A three-member medical team has already been dispatched to the disease affected area, Oli added. Enditem

That sounds horrific.
Aren't they the sort of symptoms associated with diseases like Marburg and Ebola?

There is something brewing up that way as there is a 'mysterious' cattle virus has been found in Qinghai, the bird flu is pretty bad in the region and now this one that is reacting quickly on humans.

And we worry about terrorists; nature is about to thump the crap out of us. Maybe germ warfare let out of the bottle.
