The second case in Lazio is a 77-year-old resident of Isola del Liri (Frosinone), who had recently stayed in Baia Domizia (Caserta). The man, a heart transplant recipient and suffering from chronic kidney failure, died at the Spallanzani Institute in Rome.

E' triste sentire di piu morti per il virus West Nile, specialmente in Campania e Lazio. Ma anche in Piemonte non è andata bene. Serve fare di più per proteggere le persone da questo virus che è molto pericoloso.
