Alarm in Italy from a citizen who returned sick from the Congo

The health authorities in Italy have turned their attention to a citizen who returned from the Congo with symptoms of the mysterious disease plaguing the country.

The man returned from the Congo to the city of Lucca in Tuscany in Italy and showed symptoms of anemia and high fever, which are considered to be characteristics of the “mysterious disease” that has been recorded in recent weeks in this African country.

The patient was hospitalized for nine days and discharged on December 3. As it became known, his state of health has been fully restored and there is no risk of infecting relatives or other people with whom he may associate.

Clinical samples of the patient have been sent to the Higher Institute of Health in Rome to determine what the disease is and whether it is, indeed, directly linked to the disease that has caused dozens of deaths in the Panchi region of the Congo.
