The Culex mosquito is not pesky and aggressive like the pest mosquitoes which have been breeding in the last week. SLE is a serious disease that may lead to coma or death. Health officials advise anyone experiencing any of the symptoms to consult a physician immediately.
Diagnosis is confirmed through blood tests.
