Description:

In the gripping medical thriller Pandemic, ER doctor Tsuyoshi Matsuoka encounters a patient suffering from a terrifying and mysterious virus unlike anything he has ever seen. The patient exhibits horrific symptoms, including high fever, violent convulsions, vomiting of blood, and rapid multiple organ failure. As the situation worsens and more infected patients flood the hospital, questions arise about whether this is a lethal mutation of influenza or an entirely new pathogen. To contain the rapidly escalating crisis, World Health Organization medical officer Eiko Kobayashi is dispatched to the area. Together, they must race against the clock to find a cure. At the current rate of transmission, the virus threatens to bring the entire city's transportation system and infrastructure to a complete halt within three months. If left unchecked for six months, it could spread to tens of millions of people, triggering a global catastrophe with a devastating death toll far worse than any war in human history.
