Paraguay?s second couple in hospital with dengue

Paraguay?s Vice president Federico Franco and his wife lawmaker Emilia Alfaro are in hospital in the capital Asuncion following infection symptoms of the mosquito transmitted dengue which is very common in tropical areas during the rainy season.

Franco who is a trained doctor and his wife are in a private clinic in downtown Asuncion after showing clear symptoms of a dengue infectious condition, said the family doctor Cesar Britos.

...So far this year Paraguay?s Health ministry has reported 700 possible dengue cases. This compares with the 62 deaths and 41.953 contagions during the twelve months of 2011.
