"Uganda's Deadly Mystery Illness Claims 14 Lives, Sparks Fear"

Health experts in Uganda are investigating a mysterious disease outbreak that has killed at least 14 people and affected around 40 others. The disease, which causes rashes and swollen limbs, is believed to be transmitted from animals to humans. Initial suspicions of anthrax have been ruled out, and further investigations are underway. Local communities are living in fear, resorting to traditional healing methods as medical professionals struggle to identify the illness. The disease may potentially be cellulitis, a bacterial skin infection that can lead to serious health complications if left untreated. International and local health organizations are increasing disease surveillance efforts in Africa due to its vulnerability to outbreaks and pandemics.
