Pasajero sudafricano da negativo en el virus Andes

Un residente de Western Cape que presentó síntomas similares a los de la gripe tras una posible exposición a un paciente con hantavirus ha dado negativo. Las autoridades sanitarias sudafricanas mantienen bajo observación a 97 contactos estrechos tras un brote en el crucero MV Hondius.

El Departamento Nacional de Salud confirmó el lunes el resultado negativo del pasajero que viajó en un vuelo desde la isla de Santa Elena hasta Johannesburgo. Las autoridades elevaron de 62 a 97 el número de personas bajo observación.

El brote comenzó a bordo del MV Hondius después de que una pareja de ancianos holandeses embarcara en Ushuaia, Argentina, el 1 de abril. El hombre falleció en el barco el 11 de abril y su esposa murió en un hospital de Johannesburgo el 26 de abril. Ambos casos fueron vinculados al virus Andes.

Otras infecciones confirmadas incluyen al médico del barco, un guía, un pasajero británico y un viajero suizo. Los pasajeros fueron evacuados y repatriados durante el fin de semana. Las autoridades argentinas cuestionan que la pareja contrajera el virus en Ushuaia.
