Tango king of 2015 Aki Samuli42, says that he fell ill with mole fever and was recently hospitalized.
– I do not recommend it to anyone. It was quite hot. No treatment. A lot of fluids so that it doesn’t go to the kidneys, he says in public in his Facebook update.
He praises the staff at the Porvoo hospital.
– Yes, then they were examined: chest X-ray, cardiac film, stomach, muscles, kidneys, 16 different blood tests later, they were still friendly, there was a lot of rush around. I got an absolutely top doctor for myself, a violinist by profession. The nurses knew how to take care of each other, even though there were actually really sick people there and a lot of pneumonia and colds in turns, the tango king describes.
On the Health Library website it is said that mole fever is caused by the puma virus spread by wood moles. Infection often comes from outbuildings of dwellings by inhaling dust contaminated by mole secretions. The majority of disease cases occur between August and January. The typical symptoms of mole fever are a sudden onset of high fever, headache, nausea, vomiting, stomach and back pain, and visual disturbances. The disease picture varies from asymptomatic to severe, and the disease gets better on its own. According to the site, the most difficult cases are treated in a hospital.
The singer says that she has now rested for a week, even though she is “bad for being sick”. The rest was made possible by friends who took a booth from the work of this farm located in Pukkila.
– Food was brought from the store, the animals were taken care of in the mornings and evenings, the dogs were taken for a run and the trees were carried inside. Thanks! Invaluable help, he praises his friends.
The tango king says that he is already feeling better.
– Life has won and there are signs of health. I meant to cook today, says Aki Samuli, and says that he will take it easy so that the after-effects do not strike.
Iltalehti could not reach Aki Samul to tell about his situation.
