New Delhi: The corona infection crisis has not ended yet in the world including India and in the meantime, a new disease related to fever has emerged. After the decreasing infection of the corona, life is slowly returning on track, but in the meantime, a deadly disease has come to the fore, which is known as Lassa fever. There has been an uproar after this disease came to the fore because a patient has lost his life in Britain. Out of the same three positive patients, one patient has died, although experts say that the mortality rate of Lassa fever is still 1 per cent, but it has become a cause of concern among the corona virus because the mortality rate in some positive patients is too much. Some people and pregnant women are at higher risk in their third trimester.
How does Lassa fever spread? According to experts, Lassa fever is spread through the excreta of an infected rat and if a person comes in contact with rat excreta, he can be infected with Lassa fever. Thereafter, the infected person can also infect other persons. In some cases, the infection can also be spread by the positive person's physical fluids or mucous membranes such as coming into contact with the eyes, mouth, nose.
What are the symptoms of Lassa fever? According to experts, Lassa fever does not spread from one person to another until the symptoms are severe and its symptoms develop after 1 to 3 weeks. Symptoms of Lassa fever include fatigue, headache, weakness, fever etc. In addition, in some cases, there may be a feeling of difficulty in breathing, facial bloating, bleeding, chest pain, stomach shock or vomiting etc.
