 Health authorities in Guinea confirmed a case of Mabok disease, the first recorded in West Africa of the deadly virus according to the World Health Organization. This is the first time Mabok, a very highly infectious disease that causes hermetic fever, has been identified in the country and is in West Africa. The Mabok virus was detected in samples taken from a now-diseased patient who now has been receiving treatment at a local clinic in Gakau Prefecture. Further analysis by the Pritcher Institute in Senegal confirmed the result. Symptoms of the virus appear in an infected person with a sudden onset of high fever. This is accompanied by headaches, vomiting blood, joint and muscle pains and underlying bleeding through the body openings including the eyes, nose, gums, ears, and the skin. There is no known secondary case apart from the first case confirmed. The contacts have been traced and 155 people are under observation for three weeks to make sure that we did not come into contact with the virus. But this is first discovered in Guinea can also be interpreted in line with improved surveillance capacity, improved detection capacity and even the improved confirmation capacity because the lab where the initial testing was done is right in Dekidu in the district center where the case was found.
