Health director-general Tan Sri Dr Mohd Ismail Merican said today the child died on Aug 18 of encephalitis with cerebral odema and multi-organ failure.

He also said that 52 new cases of influenza-like illness (ILI) were admitted to hospitals while 162 ILI patients were discharged, leaving 1,354 ILI patients in 82 hospitals nationwide.

Mohd Ismail said in a statement that treatment was first administered to the child on Aug 12 after he was found to be suffering from fits and cough for two days.
