The Ghana Health Service (GHS) has announced the discovery of two suspected cases of Marburg Virus disease in the Ashanti Region following a test conducted on the victims.

According to the GHS, blood samples of the two persons were taken for examination after they had shown signs of Acute Haemorrhagic Fever.

“Preliminary results suggest the infection is due to the Marburg virus,” GHS said in a statement on July 7.

The GHS noted that with the help of the World Health Organisation, the samples have since been sent for confirmation at the Institute Pateur in Dakar, Senegal.

“No new cases have been reported since the two samples were taken two weeks ago.”
