In 2022, the first death from the disease in Nigeria was reported in a 40-year-old patient who had underlying comorbidity and was on immunosuppressive medications.
Speaking in an interview with our correspondent, Kolawole said, “There are different types of comorbidity but anybody that is immunocompromised due to a certain disease condition and now has monkeypox, it could be deadly, it could lead to death. “The meaning is that the person’s immune system is immunocompromised, he cannot handle such infections. So, the power of the virus will overwhelm the immune system of such an individual which may lead to death.
“Ideally, it’s not the monkeypox but because of the state of the health of such individual. Maybe, the individual has HIV or cancer and is on anti-cancer drugs; because some drugs suppress the immune system, so if such an individual is exposed to the virus and the individual contracts the virus, the immune system may not have the strength to fight the virus.”
So like... Every other illness.
Dead in The Name of Jesus Amen.
