Leptospirosis  

Without proper sanitation in the surroundings, various diseases can spread during monsoon season. Let's explore which diseases become more prevalent during the rainy season.

Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan was a victim of trolls when he planned his medical trip to the United States much before the floods. Netizens questioned why Vijayan was heading to the US instead of trusting doctors in Kerala. The question now is who will provide adequate treatment for those suffering from water-borne diseases like Leptospirosis

 The health department has issued warning to five districts in Kerala regarding leptospirosis, following the floods.  While 25 cases of leptospirosis have been confirmed in the State so far, doctors said not all cases were a consequence of the floods.
