SEOUL, May 11 (Xinhua) -- The fifth case of Zika virus infection in South Korea has been found in a 39-year-old man who recently came back from a business trip to the Philippines, the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (KCDC) said Wednesday.
The man visited Batangas, some 100 kilometers south of Manila, on April 27 and entered South Korea on May 4.
He visited a hospital in Samcheok, some 290 km east of Seoul, on Monday after having a rash, and joint and muscle pains. He was diagnosed with the mosquito-borne virus there.
The KCDC suspects he might have been bitten by a mosquito while in the Southeast Asian country.
