West Nile fever outbreak in North Macedonia: 58 cases, 8 deaths, all male

North Macedonia reports 58 West Nile fever cases with 8 fatalities, all male, indicating a neuroinvasive disease cluster. The outbreak's geographic scope and vector-control measures remain unclear, but the high case-fatality ratio among men suggests potential reporting bias or exposure patterns. This is a notable public-health event in the Balkans, though not yet a declared regional emergency.
