The Benue State Government has confirmed one death from Lassa fever and two isolated cases of the viral disease in the state.

The victim died from complications related to Lassa fever before his test result was returned from the laboratory where it had been sent for diagnosis.

This was disclosed on Tuesday by the State Epidemiologist, Dr Asema Msuega, during a chat with journalists in Makurdi.

He said blood samples were taken from seven suspected cases for laboratory testing, and three were confirmed positive for 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 currently receiving treatment at the Isolation Centre at Benue State University Teaching Hospital, BSUTH, Makurdi.”

Msuega said contact tracing had begun for the relatives of the three confirmed cases, adding that four of their close contacts were already showing symptoms of Lassa fever.

He warned residents against allowing rodents into their homes and exposing their foodstuffs to them, advising that both cooked and uncooked food should be properly covered.

Msuega also urged people to sleep in well-ventilated rooms to help prevent the spread of infectious diseases, including Lassa fever, especially during the hot season.
