Children under the age of 10 were identified as potentially more susceptible to severe disease manifestations, including sepsis, encephalitis, and death or long-term disability. The review highlighted a lack of diagnostic equipment in rural health centers and insufficient expert health workers to recognize the disease, as well as practical hurdles such as staff nervousness about handling infected material. Vaccination adoption was noted as a continuing problem, and the authors recommended immunization for high-risk contacts and rapid diagnostic testing to prevent community spread.
