KANDAHAR, Afghanistan | U.S. military officials sent a medical team to a remote outpost in southern Afghanistan this week to take blood samples from members of an Army unit after a soldier in the unit died from an Ebola-like virus.
Dr. Jim Radike, an expert in internal medicine and infectious diseases at the Role 3 Trauma Hospital at Kandahar Air Field, told The Washington Times that Sgt. Robert David Gordon, 22, from River Falls, Ala., died Sept. 16 from what turned out to be Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever after he was bitten by a tick. The virus is transmitted by infected blood and can be carried by ticks, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Dr. Radike, who is with the Navy, said the medical team "will be taking blood samples and the results may take several weeks to get back." He called it "a precautionary measure."
Dr. Radike did not say how many individuals would be tested or why the military had waited until now to act. The unit involved is the 5th Stryker Brigade, 2nd Infantry division, A-Company 2-1 Infantry.

Just brought my dog to the vets last week.... Dog was vomiting up blood and passing blood in it's stool. She also had a fever. Vet said it was a virus that causes a dog gastro to hemorrhage.
Hospitalized her, IVs & 4 different meds, she's home now and better.
Ok, so not lyme, but wondering if connected? My other dog has lyme disease.

he first deputy minister of Health in Ukraine said in a statement that they have a different
h1n1 swine flu than the rest of the world and US. In 6 days 500 000 people have been infected,
93 confirmed deaths. Statements from a lot of departments and officials seem to disagree but
the fact is that if this is the h1n1 it might of either mutated or this is another swine flu strain
Please note. The h1n1 and the viral pneumonic
plague is two different things. What we are
saying is that either the h1n1 has mutated OR
there is a viral pneumonic outbreak at the same
scale of the h1n1.
