According to WHO, from September 2012 to May 15 this year, 40 cases of Corona Virus infection have been recorded in the world, with 20 people succumbing to the disease.
In related news, the Central Tropical Disease Hospital and Bach Mai Hospital in Hanoi received several patients suffering from lung diseases of unknown diagnosis. The patients are gold diggers from the highland areas of Dak Lak Province.
They all experienced high fever and one of them, a native of Kim Boi District in the northern province of Hoa Binh, was hospitalized in the Central Tropical Disease Hospital for respiratory failure.
The Central Tropical Disease Hospital transferred him to Bach Mai Hospital for intensive care. After three weeks of treatment with strong anti-virus and anti-biotic medication he still remained in severe condition and under a ventilator. Doctors are as yet uncertain of the virus strain.
Dr. Nguyen Gia Binh, head of Intensive Care in Bach Mai Hospital, said the hospital had received two other patients who experienced the same symptoms.
