A woman, 68, was admitted last Fri 25 Jun [2021] to the Hospital Rio Hortega of Valladolid in Northern Spain with a suspected case of Crimean-Congo fever, which is caused by tick bites.
According to health sources, the woman has been isolated since then, and samples have already been sent to the San Carlos Institute in Madrid. If results come back positive for the disease, then this would be the 2nd case in just over 2 months, as on 26 Apr [2021], the general directorate of Public Health and its Epidemiology Service confirmed one other in the province of Salamanca.
