A case of Dengue fever has been confirmed in a 42-year-old man from Bangladesh who arrived in Macedonia for work and is now placed at the Infectious Diseases Clinic. He is in a stable condition, and the authorities assure that there is no room for panic because the virus that causes it is not transmitted from person to person, but only from a mosquito bite in tropical areas.
The director of the Infectious Disease Clinic, Dr. Fadil Cana, says that the case was laboratory confirmed and adds that the patient’s condition is stable.
– It is about a 42-year-old man from Bangladesh, a worker in one of the construction companies in our country. His symptoms started before he came to the country with a fever. When he came to the country he showed symptoms and after consultation with a doctor he was referred to the Clinic – says Cana for MIA.
The Director of the Infectious Disease Clinic assures that the citizens should be calm, because there is no risk of spreading the disease, since it is, according to him, transmitted exclusively through the bite of a tiger mosquito in warm and tropical and subtropical climates.
– Macedonia, as we know, is not an endemic zone of tropical diseases, but all persons who travel from those tropical or subtropical areas and then feel some symptoms should be checked, emphasizes Cana.
The first symptoms of Dengue virus are fever, temperature, body aches, general malaise, and it is characteristic that this belongs to that group of diseases, where there is also bleeding.
