Health officials are extremely worried about the outbreak of the Dinga Dinga virus, currently confined to Bundibugyo district of Uganda, but experts are expecting new information in the coming days. While the exact cause of the viral condition which is causing fever and excessive shaking remains unclear,

More than 300 people have come down with this disease, the majority of whom are women and girls. Despite the lack of a confirmed diagnosis, patients are being treated through antibiotics, while health experts in the country continue to monitor the situation closely.

Experts are comparing the outbreak with the phenomenon "Dancing Plague" of 1518 in Strasbourg, France, where people uncontrollably danced for days, sometimes leading to exhaustion-related deaths.

Called Dina Dinga (meaning shaking like dancing), the virus, that has affected around 300 people till now, also leads to paralysis in extreme cases.

A peculiar virus, dubbed 'Dinga Dinga' for its symptoms of uncontrollable shaking, is affecting women and girls in Uganda's Bundibugyo district. With 300 affected and no fatalities reported, health officials urge caution and proper treatment amidst this mysterious outbreak.
