A middle-aged man has been hospitalised after catching a deadly fever with grim symptoms like bleeding from the eyes.
Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is a rare but unpleasant disease not native to the UK and the man was initially treated in a hospital in the Castile and Leon region of Spain, before being airlifted elsewhere.
Mortality rates are around 30% with death occurring within two weeks of the illness, according to the World Health Organisation (WHO).
