news "Anus eating virus" that kills 30% of infected stuns and confuses scientists

[Talento]

A mystery flesh-eating disease that kills around 30% of people who become infected is spreading rapidly around Japan.

 

In the first two months of 2024, some 378 cases of streptococcal toxic shock syndrome (STSS) were detected in the country. Last year it is believed there were 941 cases, which has caused concern that this year is set to surpass that number by some distance.

 

Infections this year have been detected in all but two of Japan's 47 prefectures, raising eyebrows about how widespread the bacteria has become. The Japan Times reports that there are usually fewer than 200 cases per year of this most severe group A streptococcal disease.

 

What is so concerning about this particular spate, however, is that experts have admitted that they are currently none the wiser about what it is that's causing it. A National Institute of Infectious Diseases (NIID) spokesperson said: "There are still many unknown factors regarding forms of streptococcus with a severe and sudden onset. We are not at the stage where we can explain them".

 

While it's not clear why STSS numbers are soaring in Japan, Prof Sriskandan said, told the Metro, "There's no doubt that something has happened in Japan. It's made people sit up and notice.”

I know this is just a clickbaity article but this seems like a whole lot of nothing. No sources, no articles from other sources. Seems totally fake until proven otherwise
