A few cases in the camps will die without proper hospital care.

Worst case, they had all died in the recent round of quakes.

It wasn't too bad in the hospital, because the worst cases had already died.

Normally, these spontaneous cases would die without infecting anyone else.

Five male cases died at mean age 47.8, compared with two controls at 49.5.

The case ended in a mistrial after the judge died of a heart attack.

In addition, all five infectious cases had died and the control hadn't.

Since the disease was identified in the early 1980's, 242,146 cases have been reported in this country and 158,243 people have died.

The board could have paid the judgment and the case would have died there.

So far 3,279 cases been reported and 27 people have died, the health department said.
