In Andhra Pradesh, southern India, the number of people hospitalized after contracting a mysterious disease has risen to about 340.

The health authorities have not yet known the cause of the mysterious disease.
The results of the blood tests showed no evidence of viral infection.
And local reports stated that in addition to the infection of hundreds of this mysterious disease, a 45-year-old man died of the same disease.
