食品伙伴网讯 据印度媒体报道，印度比哈邦（Bihar）每年荔枝盛产期必爆发症状类似日本脑炎的怪病，今年已夺走70多名贫童性命。
有人怀疑荔枝是罪魁祸首，印度卫生部门已采集样本进行分析，冲击了荔枝销路，怪病成因却仍莫衷一是。
在比哈邦北部的穆扎法布县（Muzaffarpur）的夏希荔枝（Shahi Litchi）以独特的风味和口感而闻名，但每年荔枝盛产季节，该区就会爆发急性脑炎综合症（AES）的怪病，而且病患全是当地贫穷线以下家庭的儿童。
部分原文报道如下：
Experts Wednesday collected samples of litchi to identify the virus strain that has claimed the lives of over 50 children in Bihar.
“We have collected samples of litchi from orchards in affected areas for toxicology study. It will help us to identify the virus strain of the disease that remains a mystery till date,” said Prabhat Kumar Sinha, who is heading a six-member team from the Rajendra Memorial Research Institute of Medical Sciences （RMRIMS）。
“Now it will be known whether the disease was caused by litchi or not,” Sinha told IANS over the phone. “In fact, the disease still remains a mystery,” he said.
