A mystery disease which can cause nosebleeds has killed three people in Burundi.
All of the deaths have occurred in the north eastern part of the African country — close to the borders with Tanzania and Rwanda.
And they reportedly died within 24 hours of their symptoms emerging.
Health chiefs have now been dispatched to the Kirundo and Muyinga provinces to investigate the nature of the illness.
Details on what the actual illness is are scarce.
