Armenia's chief infectionist Ara Asoyan is still unaware of the root
cause of an infection that was detected among residents of Nor Kharberd
village in Ararat Marz (province).
A few days ago, about 12 residents of the village were hospitalized
with symptoms of intoxication. They suffered from giddiness, general
weakness, high temperature and diarrhea.
While the patients say that the infection was caused by water, the
country's chief infectionist excludes water as the primary source of
the infection.
Two days ago, sixteen-year-old resident of Nor Kharberd Lilit Muradyan
was taken to Erebuni medical centre with the same symptoms.
Muradyan's condition deteriorated after child delivery on June 4. She
was taken to hospital with dizziness and high temperature. A few days
later, another two patients were hospitalized with the same complaints.
Lilit's father, Artashes Muradyan believes that the infection was
caused by water.
Ara Asoyan today visited the hospital to meet with patients.
"We cannot give a definite answer yet. We need time to sum up the
results of the test," said Asoyan.
