Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>The World Health Organization (WHO) office in South Sudan says it has deployed a team of health investigators to Eastern Equatoria State to probe a suspected case of haemorrhagic fever in Kapoeta East County.<\/p>\n

In a statement released on Wednesday, WHO said the team includes experts from the Ministry of Health and the National Public Health Institute. The team has been tasked with investigating the situation and containing any potential outbreak.<\/p>\n

The deployment follows reports earlier this week from Latimor village in Kapoeta East County, where three people fell ill with symptoms consistent with haemorrhagic fevers.<\/p>\n

WHO also acknowledged the European Union Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid for providing essential logistical support that enabled the timely deployment of the team.<\/p>\n

\u201cStrong surveillance, swift action and strong coordination remain key to protecting communities and preventing spread of diseases,\u201d it said in a statement.<\/p>\n

The Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) defines viral haemorrhagic fevers as severe, often fatal illnesses caused by viruses that damage blood vessels and impair blood clotting.<\/p>\n

Symptoms include high fever, fatigue, dizziness, muscle aches, and, in some cases, bleeding under the skin or from body openings such as the mouth, nose, ears, or anus.<\/p>\n
