"80% of cases do not show symptoms", the director of ISHP shows the risk of Nile fever

In Albania, 17 cases of the "Nile fever" virus have been confirmed so far.

The Ministry of Health has informed that human infection is mainly the result of mosquito bites which become infected when they feed on infected birds.

The director of ISHP Eugena Tomini said that 80 percent of individuals who can be infected by this virus do not show symptoms, 20 percent show mild symptoms while only 1 percent can show neuroevasive signs.

"80 percent of individuals who can be infected do not show symptoms, that is, those who have strong immunity, but 20 percent can show mild symptoms and only 1 percent show neuroevasive signs or affect the central nervous system and this tendency in increase was noticed in QSUT. We have 17 confirmed cases, but for other cases that have not been determined and are under evaluation, there will be an update of the situation if the cases are confirmed or not in the following days" , said Tomini for "Euronews Albania".
