Lassa fever season is here. Avoid unnecessary hospital visitations Maintaining universal precautions is key in mitigating person to person transmission. Prevent rats having access to stored food. If your fever persists after regular malaria treatments, seek urgent help. Health workers should have a high index of suspicion. 6 Likes 1 Share |

Viral hemorrhagic fever most likely Lassa or Ebola. This is the season. All Universal precautions have to be taken in the hospital. Use of PPE is sarcrosant. |

References:From the bolded quote directly below, this is a CLEAR medical case of Lassa Fever. Let's hope it's NOT Ebola virus or Marburg disease that present with the same symptoms. More advanced laboratory tests have to done to know conclusively what zoonotic viral strain this is. Medical staff also have to be well-kitted and alert when treating such cases. “They are suspected to have died from Acute Viral Hemorrhagic Fever (VHF). This followed the management of a patient with febrile illness thought to have been the index patient with the disease 10 days ago, having presented with a febrile illness”, the memo stated. |

This is most likely Lassa fever. That's exactly how it presents and health workers are at risk of getting infected if adequate personal protective measures are not taken. This is the season. I have come across a number of those cases where I practice. This is Lassa fever. 1 Like |
