The way the syndrome is attacking the children is "merciless," Dr. Sanjay Gupta, CNN's chief medical correspondent, said from Cambodia. "It eat them up alive". In one sample case, it ate up about 4 ribs of the patient in less than 5 hours. The fear is high that dozens more could still die as the mysterous killer remains not completely ravelled and spreads. It is difficult to estimate how many children have died outside the hospitals.
In Nigeria, medical examination and research wouldn't have been necessary as we all would have known the cause before it happened: "Witchcraft" from the villagers.
