A man in Guinea, West Africa, has died of the Marburg virus, which causes internal bleeding and organ failure.
The World Health Organization (WHO) said the disease has the potential to spread far and wide.
The disease can be transmitted to humans from fruit bats, says the WHO.
A man in Guinea, West Africa, has died after contracting the Marburg virus, causing internal bleeding and organ failure. The World Health Organization (WHO) confirmed the man’s death on August 9, saying the "highly contagious disease" has the potential to "spread far and wide."
This is the first time the Marburg virus has ever been detected in Guinea, according to the WHO.
According to the WHO, the man visited a local clinic to seek treatment, but his condition quickly worsened before his death. Researchers at Guinea’s National Hemorrhagic Fever Laboratory and Institute Pasteur in Senegal have confirmed the man’s Marburg virus diagnosis.
The WHO said the virus can be transmitted to humans from fruit bats and transmitted from one person to another through surfaces and body fluids.
The organization said the disease tends to begin with a sudden and sudden onset of high fever and headaches, with severe internal bleeding occurring within seven days. The WHO currently rates mortality between 24% and 88%.
"We welcome the vigilance and prompt investigative efforts of Guinea’s health workers," Matshidiso Moeti, WHO’s Regional Director for Africa, said in the organization’s statement on 9 August.
"We are working with the health authorities to implement a rapid response based on Guinea’s previous experience and expertise in dealing with Ebola, which is transmitted in a similar way," Moeti said.
