BISHKEK, May 21 (Xinhua) — Kyrgyzstan recorded a 35.7 percent increase in the incidence of intestinal infections in the first four months of 2025, the Department of Disease Prevention and State Sanitary and Epidemiological Surveillance of the Kyrgyz Ministry of Health reported on Wednesday.
It is noted that since the beginning of the year, a total of 6,348 cases of infection have been registered, compared to 4,610 cases for the same period in 2024. Among those infected, 81.6 percent are children under 14 years of age.
“According to data from a long-term analysis of acute intestinal infections, the incidence rate rises from May to September with a peak in August. The main cause of acute intestinal diseases remains failure to comply with personal hygiene rules, which is why children are most at risk of infection,” the agency said in a statement. -0-
