The article I read had to do with hepatitis B. In the article, the death poll of people in India who have hepatitis B has reached 38. The change in the death poll has come from the outburst of the disease that is being spread. In the past two weeks there has been 125 cases of this disease. Hepatitis B is spread through contact with bodily fluids. The death poll has reached this high and doctors are now saying that the drug to cure someone with this disease will be available for free starting Monday. Another reason so many have died is because some doctors have purposely been allowing there patients to suffer. Authorities say that there was an axis amount of face drugs and syringes that were being used on multiple people which is spread the hepatitis B. The highly contagious liver disease can be either a short term illness or it can be a long term chronic illness leading to long term health problem and occasionally death.
