Health authorities have confirmed that at least 109 children have died in the city of Muzaffarpur due to inflammation or infection in the brain.

The fatal diagnosis is acute encephalitis, a neurological disease caused by either a virus or environmental toxins connected to the lychee fruit.Protestors were yelling for government officials, who have been trickling in to assess the situation, to leave the hospital premises.Local media showed mothers sobbing, parents running alongside gurneys transporting their babies, and droves of parents entering the hospital premises with children in their arms, asking for help.

Bihar health authorities have confirmed that all children displayed signs of hypoglycemia -- low blood sugar -- before they died."The liver stores glycogen. When the sugar level goes down, the liver releases extra sugar to balance it out, but if there is no extra sugar and there are only toxins, then they get released," Kumar said.
