Three children have died and a further 59 people are in hospital following an outbreak of a mystery illness in West Africa.<\/p>\n

Initial blame for the mysterious outbreak has been contaminated corn porridge, after all those who died were said to have eaten the batch hours before.<\/p>\n

The death occurred on Sunday, September 17 in a village near Bouak\u00e9 in Ivory Coast – with the youngest thought to be just three-years-old.<\/p>\n

A further 59 people were brought to hospitals with a disease of unknown origin, according to hospital officials and local sources who spoke to AFP on Monday.<\/p>\n

According to a hospital source, five of the fatalities died at Bouak\u00e9 hospital, while the remaining two died in Niangban, a community about 30 km to the south.<\/p>\n

The victims are reported to be “mainly children and some adolescents” while the main symptoms of the disease are said to be “vomiting” and “diarrhoea”.<\/p>\n

Emmanuel Kouam\u00e9 N’Guessan, Niangban village chief, is reported to have confirmed that those who died were aged between five and twelve.<\/p>\n

The mother of the first fatality, Zitanick Amoin Yao, stated that she had purchased porridge and given it to her son.<\/p>\n

She said: “He started vomiting when I gave him the medicine they gave me at Dj\u00e9bonouan hospital.<\/p>\n

“We went back to the hospital and they told us to go to the university hospital in Bouak\u00e9, where he died at the age of three.”<\/p>\n

In February, two people were sentenced to five years in prison in the vicinity of Bouak\u00e9, specifically in the village of Kpo-Kahankro, for their involvement in the sale of porridge contaminated with clostridium.<\/p>\n

The bacterium, according to an official report, killed 16 people, though villagers claim the true death toll stands at 21.<\/p>\n
