Ribavarine is the drug used when it starts early...but rehydration and general nursing of the patient is as well important.. However, if it has reached endstage like bleeding and all that it could be difficult

Who brought this agains and how did this killer get into Nigeria again

It has always been here for decades...

The main issue here causing its spread is poor hygiene and living conditions of individuals and places affected.

What I expect government at all levels, community heads, and families to do is massive fumigation of residences and high risk areas... This spread can be put in check easily.

Lassa Fever is a terrible indictment on our overall living conditions as a people and nation.

Not really... It is mostly spread from rats to humans via ingesting or consuming already infected foods or water e.g soaking garri, groundnuts, bread, etc.

That's why it is termed "Zoonotic" disease.

Lassa , boko boys, kidnappers,armed banditry, Fulani herdsmen , buhari etc all this one country habba are we under a curse

operation war against rat......

ekammaita:

I don't know what they are waiting for oh! But again, this is not Goodluck's regime when Nigeria had goodluck, when Doctors could risk it all just to safe the lives of Nigerians. I don't think they care anymore.
