allAfrica: "Five people have died from an as yet unnamed disease in Namibia and health authorities are eagerly awaiting the results from urine, stool and blood specimens sent to South Africa.
Tests carried out locally failed to yield conclusive results. "We really don't have an idea what the disease is, and investigations are going on," Erna Awaseb, acting director of primary healthcare, told IRIN.
Initially, the disease was confirmed in three informal settlements in Katutura, the capital's oldest township, but Awaseb said it had also been found south of Windhoek in the Karas Region and to the north in the Otjozondjupa Region."
