The patients had developed acute pneumonia where urine was tested positive with low sodium in the blood. “The patients have fully recovered and are under our surveillance. We are further testing and conducting research regarding their condition,” Dr Baburam Marasini, Director at EDCD, said.Four male patients from Kuleshwor, Kalimati, Kalanki and Sarlahi were admitted to the hospital after suffering from high fever and diarrhoea.
