Caitlin is attempting to tackle a 'nasty virus' which kills people around the world
A woman has gone from looking at bugs in the garden as a child to designing something which could save tens of thousands of lives. Caitlin Thompson, 32, developed an interest in science after her mum bought her a telescope as a child. Now, thanks to her work in Liverpool, an invention of hers could save tens of thousands of lives around the world. The Crimean-Congo Haemorrhagic Fever Virus is one of the world’s deadliest viruses and is endemic in Africa, the Balkans, the Middle East and Asia.
” In fatal cases, death occurs from haemorrhage, multi-organ failure and shock usually between days five and 14 of illness. In non-fatal cases, the recovery usually starts 10 to 20 days after initial symptoms. Most patients make a full recovery, but some may experience fatigue and malaise for many months. The UK government says it is estimated 500 people die every year from CCHV, but this figure is likely to be higher as many cases are not detected.
