Reports out of Brazil are that a South African man on a business trip to Brazil has died of an undiagnosed hemorrhagic fever.
My compliments to Flutrackers.com for getting word on this out in English, starting about 14 hours ago.
For those readers who would prefer a summary of the situation, *here* is a direct link to the Reuters Alertnet item on this from one hour ago.
Hemorrhagic Fevers include a wide range of diseases (Yellow Fever, endemic in Brazil, being only one) but if one reads the case trail of fatalities related to a Zambian source-vector brought South Africa dating back to September of this year, it looks to be potentially much worse.
Brazilian Ministry of Health and the Pan American Health Organization are already on the case.
