A nine month old male rat died in the Institute of Pharmacedutical Science, GGV, Bilaspur (C.G.). The owner observed the grayish spot on skin, after 10 days of first observation the affected area became hard as like corn and rat died suddenly within 45 days. Before death rat showed abdominal pain, blood tinged urine, weakness, dullness and loss of body weight.
