Infections following monsoon rains have led to a fever outbreak in India’s northern Uttar Pradesh state, killing at least 114 people in the past three weeks, health officials said.

The state’s Health Minister Jai Pratap Singh told The Associated Press that most cases were caused by dengue, a seasonal viral infection spread by mosquitoes, followed by leptospirosis, scrub typhus, and malaria.

“This is a different strain as compared to the regular strain of dengue and there is a need to be careful,” he said.Dengue, also called the “breakbone fever” for the severe pain it causes, isn’t always fatal, but severe cases may require hospitalization. It can lead to internal bleeding, liver enlargement, circulatory shutdown and death.

“We do not have enough beds to keep them. We are forced to accommodate three to four children on one bed,” said Singh.
