[Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever] claimed 3 lives in Karachi in June [2019], citing local health department officials ARY News reported on [Tue 2 Jul 2019].

All 3 patients of the Congo virus died in a private hospital in Gulshan Iqbal locality of the city. Doctors have expressed apprehensions of an outbreak of Congo virus in the city with the arrival of sacrifice animals to Karachi for sale ahead of the Eid ul-Azha [11-12 Aug 2019]. Director, health and medical services department of the Karachi Metropolitan Corporation (KMC), has issued a health alert.

Director Health KMC Dr Birbal Genani has advised the public to observe precautionary measures to avoid the Congo virus disease during Eid days. A 35-year-old woman, resident of Orangi Town died after being diagnosed with the Congo virus at Karachi's Jinnah Hospital in February. It was the 1st death due to Congo virus in the metropolis in 2019.

The disease is caused when a tick attaches itself to the skin of [infected] cattle and when that infected tick or animal comes in contact with people, the highly contagious virus is transmitted into the human body and the person falls ill.

This disease has a 40-50 per cent mortality rate. The initial symptoms of Congo fever include headache, high fever, rashes, back pain, joint pain, stomach pain, and vomiting.

[The 3 new fatal cases mentioned in the report above bring the total to 6 for Sindh province, mainly Karachi. The information from other provinces is not available. Surveillance initiatives aimed at early detection and management of suspected cases, along with vector mapping as well as travel and occupational exposure hazards must be incorporated in order to control this endemic public health problem, particularly in view of the upcoming Eid ul-Azha, which entails large movements of livestock across the country. - Mod.UBA
