VANADZOR RESIDENTS THREATENED BY INTESTINAL DISEASES EPIDEMIC
VANADZOR, JULY 28, ARMENPRESS: Doctors in Armenia's third largest
town of Vanadzor, the administrative center of Lori province, have
asked local authorities to take quick action to prevent further
spread of what they describe as 'a situation close to epidemic,'
following 80 cases of intestinal diseases.
They say the number of cases has doubled against last year. The
spread began last June when 66 people, 30 children, were diagnosed
with salmonellosis and diphtheria. Doctors say they are short of
medications to treat the disease and there are no signs that the
number of sick people is going to fall down. The hotbed of the
disease in Vanadzor remains undiscovered.
