Lassa fever cell structure
A New Jersey man died Monday evening
after been diagnosed with Lassa fever — an infectious disease from West
Africa that is rarely seen in the United States, a federal health
official said.
The man recently returned from Liberia, arriving at New York City's JFK International Airport on May 17. He grew critically ill after his return, suffering from multiple organ failure, said Dr. Tom Frieden, director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta.
