Another dangerous virus has been recorded in Hong Kong (2 photos)

Oh, these Chinese lovers of eating anything and everything, preferably raw. 91 people were infected, 4 died.





In short, in the Chinese special administrative region (SAR) Hong Kong, raw freshwater fish was sold in 18 districts at 47 markets. Well, lovers of fresh fish all got infected with an infection caused by group B streptococcus. A total of 91 people sought hospital treatment, four of them have already gone to their forefathers, and the same number are in critical condition. Doctors managed to stabilize 43 people, and another 40 got off very lightly and have already been discharged from hospitals.



The picture is taken as an example of what will happen if the Chinese do not stop eating fish of dubious quality.

Doctors conducted all the necessary studies and found out that only 75 patients had direct contact with raw fish, the rest were infected from them. Local authorities responded with lightning speed. They ordered everyone to wear gloves, not eat raw fish and seek medical help as soon as possible.



This red-bumped worm is an illustration of the Marburg virus, a virus with tubular RNA (ribonucleic acid) that belongs to the Filoviridae family. It causes Marburg hemorrhagic fever in humans. Symptoms include fever, muscle pain, rash, diarrhea, and bleeding.

In the meantime, the epidemiological situation in Rwanda is worsening due to the spread of the Marburg virus. Our Rospotrebnadzor is monitoring this issue just in case. As of the end of September, 26 cases were recorded in the country and 8 of them died. It is safer to eat raw fish than to come into contact with flying dogs, which are the carriers of the infection. All those who were infected with this virus were doctors in two medical organizations in the capital of Rwanda, Kigali.

Currently, WHO is monitoring the health of 300 people, those who were in contact with the sick. One of these comrades has already managed to get out of the country.

Currently, the virus is only spreading through two countries in Africa, but WHO does not give up hope, that is, it is trying with all its might to prevent the infection from spreading throughout the world. We need to keep everyone on their toes, otherwise they have relaxed, you know.
