| A new outbreak of a mysterious disease has been discovered in Chechnya. Yesterday, psychologists and specialists from the Ministry of Emergency Situations of the republic left Grozny for the village of Sernovodsk, Sunzhensky district of Chechnya, to understand the causes of mass fainting of children. On Monday, 11 students lost consciousness during classes at a local school. Doctors noted familiar symptoms in the sick - suffocation, chills, convulsions, hysteria. Rescuers measured the radiation background, but found no deviations.
A mysterious disease broke out in the republic at the end of last year in the Shelkovsky district. According to the Chechen Ministry of Health, 115 people were hospitalized, 85 of whom were children. A government commission diagnosed pseudoasthmatic syndrome. However, after several courses of treatment, the patients' condition remains unchanged. Tatiana GRITSENKO
