Key Facts About Yellow Fever by Dentalgist: 11:02am On Sep 23, 2019 |
1. Yellow fever is an acute viral haemorrhagic disease transmitted by infected mosquitoes. The “yellow” in the name refers to the jaundice that affects some patients. 2. Symptoms of yellow fever include fever, headache, jaundice, muscle pain, nausea, vomiting and fatigue. 3. A small proportion of patients who contract the virus develop severe symptoms and approximately half of those die within 7 to 10 days. 4. The virus is endemic in tropical areas of Africa and Central and South America. 5. Large epidemics of yellow fever occur when infected people introduce the virus into heavily populated areas with high mosquito density and where most people have little or no immunity, due to lack of vaccination. In these conditions, infected mosquitoes of the Aedes aegypti specie transmit the virus from person to person. 6. Yellow fever is prevented by an extremely effective vaccine, which is safe and affordable. A single dose of yellow fever vaccine is sufficient to confer sustained immunity and life-long protection against yellow fever disease. A booster dose of the vaccine is not needed. The vaccine provides effective immunity within 10 days for 80-100% of people vaccinated, and within 30 days for more than 99% of people vaccinated. 7. Good supportive treatment in hospitals improves survival rates. There is currently no specific anti-viral drug for yellow fever. 8. The Eliminate Yellow fever Epidemics (EYE) Strategy launched in 2017 is an unprecedented initiative. With more than 50 partners involved, the EYE partnership supports 40 at-risk countries in Africa and the Americas to prevent, detect, and respond to yellow fever suspected cases and outbreaks. The partnership aims at protecting at-risk populations, preventing international spread, and containing outbreaks rapidly. By 2026, it is expected that more than 1 billion people will be protected against the disease. https://dentalgist.ng/key-facts-about-yellow-fever 3 Likes 1 Share

DaddyMorenike: It's possible. It is a congenital anomaly called APHALLIA. It is caused by failure of the genital tubercle to develop. In fact, it's possible to be naturally circumcised in which case it's called aposthia 2 Likes 1 Share |

Why did God (if true that He's loving) created so many diseases for humanity? A loving earthly father would not want such for even his most stubborn child. For Bible believers, don't quote me and support your claim with what I dont believe. |
