At least one person has died and 200 others are in hospital in India due to a mystery illness. The first cases were detected on Saturday evening in the ancient city of Eluru, in the state of Andhra Pradesh. A 45-year-old man who was in hospital with symptoms similar to epilepsy and nausea died on Sunday evening, the Press Trust of India news agency reported. State chief minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy visited a government hospital and met patients who were ill on Monday. The health system in the state, like the rest of India, has been frayed by the resulting pressure.
