The victim died of complications before his result was out from the laboratory where it was sent for diagnosis.

The State’s Epidemiologist, Dr Asema Msuega who disclosed this in a telephone interview with our correspondent, explained that blood samples were taken from seven suspected persons to the laboratory for diagnosis, and three came out to be positive to Lassa Fever.

According to him, “Out of the three confirmed Lassa Fever cases, one of them died even before the result came out and two are admitted at the Isolation Centre at the Benue State University Teaching Hospital (BSUTH) Makurdi.”

Msuega said contact tracing had commenced for relatives of the three confirmed cases and that four of their close relatives were already manifesting symptoms of Lassa fever.
