A mysterious illness known as 'Dinga Dinga' has affected around 300 people in Uganda's Bundibugyo district. The condition causes uncontrollable shaking, fever, and weakness. Health officials are investigating its cause and treatment.

Dinga Dinga virus outbreak in Uganda

Health authorities have advised people to maintain good hygiene, avoid close contact with those who are infected, and report any new cases promptly to local health teams.

A new and unexplained illness, known locally as 'Dinga Dinga'&mdash;which means 'shaking like dancing'&mdash;has affected around 300 individuals, primarily women and girls, in Uganda&rsquo;s Bundibugyo district.
The condition is marked by high fever, uncontrollable shaking, and significant difficulty in movement. Those who have contracted the illness report trembling throughout their bodies, severe weakness, and in some cases, even paralysis. Walking becomes nearly impossible for many, as the shaking makes mobility extremely difficult.
Ugandan health officials have launched an investigation into the cause of this unusual illness. While no deaths have been reported, experts stress the importance of early medical attention. Treatment so far consists of antibiotics provided by community health teams, with most patients recovering within a week. Dr. Kiyita Christopher, the district health officer, cautioned against the use of herbal remedies, noting that there is no scientific evidence supporting their effectiveness for this disease. He also urged residents to seek care at district health centers for proper treatment.
Health authorities have advised people to maintain good hygiene, avoid close contact with those who are infected, and report any new cases promptly to local health teams to prevent further spread. No cases have been reported outside Bundibugyo at this time. Samples from those affected have been sent to Uganda's Ministry of Health for further testing, but an official diagnosis has not yet been determined.
The situation has sparked comparisons to the infamous 'Dancing Plague' of 1518 in Strasbourg, France, where people were compelled to dance uncontrollably, sometimes leading to death by exhaustion.
In a similar vein, the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) is currently dealing with its own mysterious outbreak in the Panzi health zone. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), there have been 394 cases and 30 fatalities so far. Symptoms include fever, headache, body aches, cough, and a runny nose. Investigations are ongoing to determine whether the illness is linked to common respiratory infections like influenza, COVID-19, malaria, or measles. Authorities have also considered the possibility that it could be a new, unidentified illness, sometimes referred to as "Disease X."

Rebel attack on Ugandan school near Congo border, 41 dead

Ugandan troops are &ldquo;pursuing the perpetrators to rescue the abducted students&rdquo; who were forced to carry looted food toward Congo's Virunga National Park, it said.

Ugandan authorities recovered the bodies of 41 people, including 38 students, who were burned, shot or hacked to death after suspected rebels attacked a secondary school near the border with Congo, the local mayor said on Saturday.
At least six people were abducted by the rebels, who fled across the porous border into Congo after the raid on Friday night, according to the Ugandan military.
The victims included the students, one guard and two members of the local community who were killed outside the school, Mpondwe-Lhubiriha Mayor Selevest Mapoze told The Associated Press.
Mapoze said that some of the students suffered fatal burns when the rebels set fire to a dormitory and others were shot or hacked with machetes.
The raid, which happened around 11.30 pm, involved about five attackers, the Ugandan military said.
Soldiers from a nearby brigade who responded to the attack found the school on fire, &ldquo;with dead bodies of students lying in the compound," military spokesman Brig. Felix Kulayigye said in a statement.
That statement cited 47 bodies, with eight other people wounded and being treated at a local hospital.

The bodyguard is suspected to have shot himself after killing the minister.
