A Dutch doctor who contracted Lassa hemorrhagic fever in Sierra Leone after treating patients has died in hospital, while a second doctor is undergoing treatment, the top Dutch health official said Sunday.
“The patient… which has been treated in strict isolation, has died last night,” Dutch Health Minister Bruno Bruins said. The second patient has been admitted to a hospital in the central Dutch city of Utrecht in an isolation unit which was also used to treat a patient who contracted Ebola in 2014. The doctor also helped with the evacuation of a second woman who suffered from a septic wound after an abortion.“He developed signs of fever, headache, and general malaise… and was treated for typhoid, malaria and influenza but symptoms persisted.”
This is great price paid in the line of duty. May his soul rest in Peace!
So sad
