The victim has been transferred to hospital for proper upkeep
The deadly Lassa fever has finally hit Ogun state with the first recorded of the disease and the victim has been transferred to Olabisi Onabanjo University Teaching Hospital.
Information about how the victim came in contact with virus is still sketchy as filing this report.
Lassa fever, according to the minister of health, Isaac Adewole, about 40 people have been confirmed death.
The first case of Lassa fever was recorded in November in Bauchi state. Shortly after that new cases were reported in Kano and other states.
Seven of the affected states are in the north: Bauchi, Nasarawa, Niger, Taraba, Kano, Plateau and Gombe and the following states in the south have been hit: Rivers, Edo and Oyo, Delta, Lagos and now Ogun state.
It was learnt that people with this disease do not display symptoms in 80% of cases but it can cause serious symptoms and death in the remainder.
This dangerous virus is transmitted to humans by contact with food or household items contaminated with animal faeces and urine. Person-to-person contact is also possible through bodily fluids, especially in hospitals when adequate infection control measures are not taken.
The recorded cases of Lassa fever in Nigeria peaked in 2012 at 1,723 with 112 fatalities but rates have declined since then.
