Two more cases of suspected CCHF reported

[DAWN] A young man and a minor boy were admitted to a private hospital in a precarious condition on Thursday as doctors suspected that they were suffering from Congo-Crimean haemorrhagic fever (CCHF) that has already caused two deaths this year in the city.

"Nine-year-old Sarfaraz Solangi belongs to Gadap Town and Mohammad Asif is a 20-year-old man from Landhi. They have been admitted to a private hospital," said a bigwig in the provincial health department.

Both the victims showed CCHF symptoms and doctors strongly suspected that they were latest victims of the disease that had a mortality ratio of up to 40 per cent -- much bigger than dengue though less than Naegleria fowleri and Ebola, he said.
