This year, there have been multiple Congo virus cases reported from Karachi. A 32-year-old patient was taken to Jinnah Hospital in critical condition.
When the patient first arrived on Wednesday, they had fever and diarrhea, among other symptoms. The patient’s Congo virus test came out positive after evaluation.
The patient has been moved to the hospital’s Intensive Care Unit (ICU) for advanced medical care due to the severity of their sickness. Experts in medicine have stated that there is only a 10% chance of recovery from the Congo virus, making it extremely risky.
The virus that causes Congo virus, commonly referred to as Crimean-Congo Haemorrhagic Fever (CCHF), is passed from person to person and from animals to people.
