Yair Rodriguez Pereyra, 14, from Vélez, died from sepsis, not dengue. The infection invades the bloodstream and affects the entire body.

Yair was from Córdoba, born in Río Cuarto, and had arrived in Vélez in 2019. He had settled in Buenos Aires with his entire family and was about to turn 15 years old. The death was confirmed by the Liniers club, which was shocked by the news.
