A structured statistical study tool with all types scaling measures is considered. Statistical reports are extracted for the study variables using SPSS. The test hypotheses related to intra and inter association among the disease manifestations are verified through chi-square statistic. Results: It is observed that there is a statistical evidence on the association between febrile diarrhea and abdominal pain (p <0.001); between febrile diarrhea and myositis (p <0.001); between abdominal pain and myositis (p <0.001).
