After the case found in Busto Arsizio which the national media had also widely covered in recent days, yesterday at the San Martino hospital in Genoa the diagnosis of Dengue was confirmed in a man who arrived from Argentina.
The patient is well and has already returned home. «Having raised awareness through the media and the ministry’s circulars allowed this gentleman to come to us precisely because he suspected he had the symptoms of Dengue – Matteo Bassetti, director of infectious diseases at the San Martino polyclinic hospital in Genoa, told Adnkronos Salute –. Providing information and dissemination on this issue is very useful for citizens».
A week ago, the Municipality of Busto announced that a suspected case of Dengue had been found in the city (a woman who had been in Brazil) and, between last Friday and Sunday, disinfestations were carried out in the affected area, among the neighborhoods of Sant’Edoardo and dei Frati. Subsequently, Palazzo Gilardoni asked Ats Insubria to act as the control room for subsequent interventions to also be extended to neighboring municipalities.
