The formula for estimating case fatality rate is: F = A/B *100, where F= case fatality rate, A = number of death recorded and B = number of people diagnosed with the disease. From the question, A = 20, B = 160, 
therefore, F = 20/160 * 100 = 12.5.
Therefore, the fatality rate is 12.5.

Which infection has clinical manifestations of sudden onset of malaise low back pain?
Ronch [10]

Bacterial prostatitis infection has clinical manifestations of sudden onset of malaise low back pain.

Acute bacterial prostatitis, an infection of the prostate gland, can cause fevers, chills, nausea, emesis, and malaise in addition to pelvic pain and symptoms of the urinary tract like dysuria, urinary frequency, and urinary retention. Although the actual incidence is unknown, it is believed that 10% of all cases of prostatitis are caused by acute bacterial prostatitis. The majority of acute bacterial prostatitis infections are acquired in the community, but some develop after transrectal prostate biopsy or after transurethral manipulation procedures like urethral catheterization and cystoscopy. To check for a tender, enlarged, or boggy prostate, the physical examination should also include an abdominal, genital, and digital rectal examination. Urinalysis may be helpful, but history and physical examination are the primary diagnostic tools.
