    Argentine hemorrhagic fever not widespread but highly lethal

    In 2023, only two people were diagnosed with AHF, but one died last Monday

    Sanitary experts in the city of Rosario in the province of Santa Fe recommended people in rural areas get vaccinated against Argentine Hemorrhagic Fever (AHF). The once-in-a-lifetime chemical is free of charge and indicated for people between 15 and 65 years of age because “Santa Fe is an endemic area,” the specialists warned after the death of one man infected with the malady.
