The Democratic Republic of the Congo has reported 406 cases of a mysterious disease, with a notable fatality rate of 7.6%, much higher than COVID-19.
WHO warns that additional unexplored deaths exist outside health facilities, showcasing the potential for an underreported case fatality rate.
The outbreak region's low healthcare access, low vaccination rates, and food insecurity make it challenging to combat the surge of cases.
Acute pneumonia, influenza, COVID-19, measles, and malaria are being examined as possible causal factors for the disease outbreak.
