KHAMMAM: In a shocking incident, three infants
died, after allegedly developing reaction to polio drops administered on Sunday
in Penuballi mandal of this district.
According to information reaching here, all the three infants, aged under two
months, suffered from shivering after being given polio drops. One kid died on
Sunday and two others succumbed on Monday. Unconfirmed reports said that another
infant died in the mandal due to a similar reaction.
The victims were identified as R Venkat Narsaiah of Bramhalakunta, Pramila (Karaigudem)
and another baby girl who is daughter of one K Narasimham Kumar in Upplachalaka
village. The parents alleged that the deaths were a result of complications
arising out of polio drops and that the children were normal and healthy before.
Dr Gopala Krishna and Dr Ranga Prasad from Hyderabad, who are a part of the
rapid response team of WHO, visited the district to obtain a report on the
deaths.
When contacted, district medical and health officer Dr R Krisha Bramham
maintained that the deaths were unrelated to polio drops. ``It is a coincidence
that the deaths happened just a day after polio drops weregiven,'' he said.
