MAKURDI—Two weeks after Lassa Fever claimed the life of a medical doctor and two of his patients in Makurdi, the Benue State capital, two children have been admitted with the virus  at the Benue State University Teaching Hospital, BSUTH.

Chief Medical Director of BSUTH, Prof. Abraham Malu, made this known, yesterday, in Makurdi when he played host to an investigative team from the Federal Ministry of Health, which also donated drugs to the hospital following the outbreak of the disease in the state.

He said: ”I am pleased to inform you that since the initial outbreak of the disease some two weeks back we have had no new reported cases of the disease in any part of the state.

”What we have recorded so far are two secondary cases which unfortunately are the children of the medical doctor who died of the disease.”
