Health Ministry Takes Action: Investigating the Strange Disease Outbreak In a concerning turn of events, over 200 people in the Egyptian village of Al-aleikat, located in the Qena governorate, have been infected with a mysterious disease, causing alarm among the residents.
According to this article, it’s an outbreak of Dengue fever:

The lack of people actually reading the article and saying it’s like a new plague, and you pop along, you who actually read the article and you say it’s just dengue fever.
Needless to say I didn’t read the article and been just enjoyin’ the tin foil hat (or face mask) conversation going on in the comments.
So the article title calls it a MyStErY but then literally calls it by name? Garbage tier journalism
My friends, the link I posted above is a different article than the one provided by OP. The article provided by OP doesn’t identify the disease, however, the article I posted does. It seems likely that at the time the article linked to this post was written, the source either didn’t have this information yet, didn’t do enough research, just wanted to stir up clicks, or some combination of these things. Reading, folks, it’s good for your bones!
Which makes it funnier that the other commenter was complaining about people not reading the article and he didn’t read OP’s article either.
Nah @Admetus didn’t read the article either.
Yes that’s what the tests have found.
There are also big dengue outbreaks in Laos and Bangladesh.
Are broken bones common with Dengue fever?
Well it’s also known as “breakbone fever”. Seems likely this is the cause.
