Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I've been having high fever that won't go down. I went to the hospital for a check-up and they said it's a viral infection. What kind of infectious disease did I get? Could you please tell me how high the incidence rate of hemorrhagic fever is in Sichuan?Doctor's answer:
The incidence of hemorrhagic fever varies by region. Generally, it is caused by the Hanta virus, which is transmitted by rodents. This can occur through contact with food contaminated by rodents or through subsequent infections following rodent bites. The incidence is relatively high within certain provinces, potentially exceeding 200 to 400 cases annually. Typically, the disease control center releases specific data on hemorrhagic fever cases each year.
