No fewer than thirteen persons have died from Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital.
Source close to the hospital informed Daily Dispatch that senior Doctor (Name Undisclosed) from the Lagos University Teaching Hospital was able to detect cause of the the 13 people.
According to our source, several tests were run on these bodies but nothing was discovered not until after 72 hours of their death they discovered some spots on their body which was finally diagnosed to be HPV. Human Papilloma Virus.
The Human Papilloma Virus Infection can cause genital warts, which can lead to cancer of the cervix.
The virus is located in warts found in HPV and hands and there have been studies that the disease can spread through a simple handshake.
“Total death reported from this virus now is 13 in Lagos University Teaching Hospitals alone. But it the state government suppressed the report this in order not to create fear in the air just like the case of EBOLA”, our source said.
“To prevent this HPV you need to sanitize your palms at least every hours (if possible). Prevention is better than cure, as it won’t be discovered on time until after death occurs. Further research is ongoing to identify the symptoms of this Virus”.
All efforts to get reactions from the hospital and Lagos State Government proved abortive.
