MALARIA OUTBREAK IN CONGO

Congo man dies with hemorrhagic fever, indicating mystery outbreak could be more than just malaria

Congo authorities said last week that they suspected malaria in the flu-like disease outbreak, which has killed at least 37 people and in which more than four out of five patients have tested positive for malaria. But the death of the man with hemorrhagic fever - not normally associated with parasite-caused malaria - could indicate a virus at work as well.
