Kasab was treated by a team of doctors from Mumbai's JJ Hospital in the Arthur Road prison, where he has been lodged since his conviction.





Ajmal Kasab, the lone surviving terrorist of the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks, has recovered from high fever, earlier suspected to be dengue, an official at Arthur Road Jail said on Sunday.



"Kasab underwent tests inside his high-security cell by doctors from JJ Hospital to check for symptoms of malaria and dengue. The tests were negative. He was running high fever and had been weak for two days. However, the tests clearly show that he had normal fever and that he had not contracted any disease," said Suresh Karnik, Superintendent, Arthur Road Jail.



Kasab has been suffering from high fever for the last four days, a prison official said.



A team of doctors from Mumbai's JJ Hospital treated him in the Arthur Road prison, where he has been lodged since his conviction.



Confirming the reports, JJ Hospital dean TP Lahane said that while the symptoms of the fever were "dengue-like", the possibility of the disease has been nearly ruled out.



"Doctors are monitoring Kasab's health and he was subjected to various tests, most of which have been negative for dengue. We are expecting results of one more medical test," Lahane said.



Kasab is one of the 10 Pakistani terrorists who sailed from their country and illegally sneaked into Mumbai on the night of Nov 26, 2008, for a terror siege of the city that ended Nov 29 afternoon.



The mayhem that Kasab and his nine accomplices unleashed on the city claimed 166 innocent lives.
