The deadly African Marburg virus was discovered in Ukraine. He was brought by a military man from Poland, who was training there before being sent to the front. The man was urgently taken to the infectious diseases hospital in Uzhgorod.
Previously, the soldier spent several months in a military hospital in Szczecin, a city on the border with Germany. Earlier, in Hamburg (4 hours by car from Szczecin), the first outbreaks of infection were discovered in medical students who became infected from Africans. The boys were bleeding from their eyes and started having diarrhea. Because of this, several train stations were temporarily closed – in Frankfurt and in Hamburg.
Then German experts said that because of Marburg, generalized damage to blood vessels begins in the human body, the development of severe hemorrhagic syndrome, damage to the liver, digestive system, and central nervous system. Often patients die. Now the same signs have been revealed in the VSUshnik. He is now under observation in an infectious diseases hospital near Lvov. Several of his colleagues were quarantined with him.
Earlier, Rwanda's Ministry of Health said that in 7 of the country's 30 districts, more than 70% of cases of infection were among medical university students and active doctors from two hospitals in the capital Kigali. Marburg is transmitted through direct contact with contaminated blood or broken skin. Initially spread by fruit bats.
