NOTE: Not sure if this is the case here, but... According to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), "Encephalitis lethargica is a disease characterized by high fever, headache, double vision, delayed physical and mental response, and lethargy. In acute cases, patients may enter coma. Patients may also experience abnormal eye movements, upper body weakness, muscular pains, tremors, neck rigidity, and behavioral changes including psychosis. The cause of encephalitis lethargica is unknown. Between 1917 to 1928, an epidemic of encephalitis lethargica spread throughout the world, but no recurrence of the epidemic has since been reported."

www.ninds.nih.gov/ disorders/ encephalitis_lethargica/ encephalitis_lethargica.htm

According to BBC News, Tuesday, 27 July 2004, "Mystery of the forgotten plague"
"Encephalitis Lethargica was a devastating illness that swept the world in the 1920's.

It attacked the brain, leaving victims like living statues, speechless and motionless.

During the outbreak, nearly a million died, and millions more were left frozen inside their useless bodies, in institutions.

No-one knew what had caused it, or how to treat it... The bacteria that can cause a simple sore throat had mutated into a much more severe form and triggered the attacks of encaphilitis lethargica. It seems that in some people the body has a massive immune reaction to the streptococcus bacteria and then turns on the body itself; attacking the brain and destroying it."

Did You Know?America - Did you know? The last shot of the Civil War was fired in the remote region of the Bering Sea. The Confederate cruiser Shenandoah fired on a Union whaler on June 22, 1865, not knowing the war was over.
