[At least 79 people have died from an
unknown disease that is causing
flu-like symptoms in south-western
Democratic Republic of Congo,
the health ministry says.

The health ministry says the
majority of people who have died
are between the ages of 15 and 18.

More than 300 people have been
infected with patients exhibiting
symptoms like fever, headaches,
runny noses and coughs,
breathing difficulties and anaemia.

Response teams have been sent to
Kwango Province, specifically the
Panzi health zone, where the disease
is most common, to manage cases
and investigate the nature of the disease.

Symphorien Manzanza, a civil society leader,
told Reuters news agency the situation
was worrying as the number of infected
people continues to rise.

"Panzi is a rural health zone
, so there is a problem with the
supply of medicines," he said.

A World Health Organisation (WHO)
Africa region official told the BBC they
have "dispatched a team to the
remote area to collect samples for
lab investigations".]

Unfortunately it's a rural area with bad hygiene levels. So diseases spread.
