These are common infusion solutions containing B vitamins with market prices ranging from 60,000 VND to 125,000 VND.

The Department of Health will continue to transfer information about the incident to relevant authorities to clarify the origin of these products and strictly handle them according to the law.

Dak Lak recorded 3 cases of Japanese Encephalitis
Information from the Center for Disease Control (CDC) of Dak Lak province said that the locality has just recorded another case of a child with Japanese encephalitis.
This is the third case of Japanese Encephalitis since the beginning of 2024. The patient is HNRN (Female, born in 2016, residing in Ea Ho commune, Krong Nang district, Dak Lak province).
According to the patient's family, on July 17, the patient developed symptoms of high fever and headache. The family took the child to the Krong District Medical Center for examination and treatment.
On July 20, the child was transferred to the Central Highlands General Hospital for further treatment with a diagnosis of prolonged high fever and monitoring for meningitis. On July 25, the child's test results were positive for Japanese encephalitis.
Immediately after recording the case, Dak Lak CDC quickly coordinated with local health facilities to investigate the vector of Japanese encephalitis.
At the same time, treat the environment around the patient's house and strengthen communication to the people about proactive measures to prevent and control Japanese Encephalitis B.
The investigation results showed that the environment around the patient's house had ponds, stagnant water, and rice fields near the house. Households around the patient's house raised cows and pigs, which were favorable environments for mosquitoes that transmit Japanese encephalitis to breed and develop. At the patient's house, the presence of Culex mosquitoes, which are vectors of Japanese encephalitis B in the community, was recorded.
