Hong Kong health authorities are tackling the world’s first case of a patient contracting the potentially fatal mosquito-borne disease, Japanese encephalitis (JE), through a blood transfusion.
The 52-year-old man was fighting for his life at Queen Mary Hospital on Friday.
Doctors determined that two others received the same infected blood as the patient, who underwent a lung transplant at Queen Mary in May, followed by a blood transfusion at Grantham Hospital two weeks ago.
