在南部安得拉邦的埃卢鲁，患者出现了痉挛、眼睛灼烧、呕吐症状，一些人甚至昏迷不醒。

It comes as the country still has the second highest coronavirus caseload in the world. Andhra Pradesh has been one of the worst-affected states with more than 800,000 recorded infections.

目前，印度是世界上新冠病例第二多的国家。安得拉邦是受影响最严重的邦之一，确诊人数超过80万。

Seventy people have been discharged, while another 157 are still being treated in hospitals.

One doctor in Eluru told The Indian Express: 'The people who fell sick, especially the children, suddenly started vomiting after complaining of burning eyes. Some of them fainted or suffered bouts of seizures'.

埃卢鲁一名医生告诉《印度快报》:“患者，尤其是孩子，出现眼睛灼烧后突然开始呕吐。有些人会晕倒或发生痉挛。”

The state's chief minister, Jaganmohan Reddy, said that special medical teams are being sent to Eluru to investigate the cause of the illness.

该邦首席部长贾甘莫汉·雷迪表示，已向埃卢鲁派出特别医疗小组，调查病因。

He has also visited a hospital in the town to meet the patients and their families.

Blood samples were taken from patients and no evidence of any viral infection was revealed, according to Mr Srinivas.

卫生部长表示，他们从病人身上采集了血样，没有发现感染病毒的证据。

He said: 'We ruled out water contamination or air pollution as the cause after officials visited the areas where people fell sick.

他说:“工作人员视察了患者居住的地区后，我们排除了水污染或空气污染的可能。”

'It is some mystery illness and only lab analysis will reveal what it is.'

这是一种神秘的疾病，只有实验室分析才能揭示“谜底”。

However the opposition Telugu Desam Party has called for an inquiry into the illness.

反对党泰卢固之乡党要求对该疾病进行调查。

They are insisting that water contamination was the cause of the mystery illness.
