Vietnam has asked international health experts to help investigate a mystery illness that has killed 19 people and sickened 171 others in an impoverished district in central Vietnam, an official said Friday.
The illness responds well to treatment if detected early, but 29 patients have been reinfected, Phong said.
A fresh spate of infections started last month, with 68 cases and eight deaths reported between March 27 and April 5, Phong said.
