Minocycline and japanese encephalitis; ABR and Disinfectants
Two researchers from National Brain Research Center (NBRC) suggest that a common antibiotic -minocycline- may prevent children from death due to Japanese encephalitis (JE), commonly known as brain fever. Japanese Encephalitis virus is the causative agent for JE. Although there is no consolidated official figure for JE cases in India, a rough estimate would indicate a few thousands fatalities every year http://www.sciencedaily.com /releases/2008/02/080219093000.htm
