The Kano Kano State Commissioner for Health, Dr Aminu Tsanyawa, on Thursday, confirmed the outbreak of the deadly Diphtheria disease which is reported to have killed no fewer than 25 persons in the state.

Symptoms of the killer disease include sore throat, cough, drooling of saliva, change of voice, neck swelling, abnormal breathing, fever or mouth odour, among others.

Tsanyawa said presently, the state rapid response team has been reactivated and indexed an action plan to check the spread of the deadly disease in the state. He said the low routine immunisation attributed to the spread of the disease is due to the hard-to-be-reached areas in the state.Tsanyawa said apart from the Murtala Muhammad Specialist Hospital designated as an isolation centre, other isolation centres would be created to check the spread of disease.
