In the Kyotera district of Uganda, 12 people who showed symptoms of skin rashes have died in the last 2 weeks.
The Ugandan Ministry of Health has launched an investigation into the disease. According to a report by The Daily Monitor, local health workers stated that the rashes appearing on the patients' skin grew larger, and the patients passed away a few days later.
While samples were taken from the skin of the deceased, initial test results determined that the disease is not Ebola, Marburg, or Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus.
