Mumbai: Heart disease remains the top killer in Mumbai, but cerebrovascular conditions, contributing to 14 deaths a day, show a 6-8% year-on-year incr.
Mumbai is experiencing a significant increase in cases of Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS), a rare autoimmune neurological disorder. Doctors have reported a surge in GBS cases, with incidences ranging from 30% to 50% higher than usual during the monsoon season. The rise is believed to be linked to a broader increase in viral infections, as most GBS patients experienced the condition after recovering from viral or gastrointestinal infections.
