ABSTRACT

Following an unconfirmed report of an outbreak of acute viral haemorrhagic fever in some remote and inaccessible areas of Western Bahar El Gazal State of southern Sudan, a joint field investigation was carried out by WHO and the officials of the Ministry of Health of the Government of southern Sudan [GoSS]. The investigation was carried out between 05 to 13 October in both the areas from where these unconfirmed reports spread. The investigation team did not find any active case with bleeding manifestations suspected to be of acute viral haemorrhagic fever. However, a blood sample collected from a 35 year old lady who was jaundiced and had a history of epistaxis and vaginal bleeding was tested positive for Hepatitis-E as well as for Ebola IgG

ABSTRACT

En 1977 ocurrió en el sur de Perú un extenso brote de una enfermedad hemorrágica que correspondía a la fiebre amarilla, y a pesar de uma amplia campaña de vacunación hubieron brotes recurrentes en años posteriores. Las circunstacias epidemiológicas en que acaecieron estos brotes indican que un importante factor determinante fue el ingreso, repetido anualmente, de trabajadores migratorios susceptibles en un foco enzootico de esta enfermedad. Durante el estudio de dichos brotes los autores intentaron aislar el virus de la fiebre amarilla de muestras de sangre obtenidas de seis pacientes en 1977, cuatro en 1978 y cuatro en 1981, en la zona endémica. Con este propósito se inyectó sangre entera de los pacientes a ratones lactantes (por via intracraneal), y se inocularon ademas cultivos de celulas C6/36 (Aedes albopictus), ratones lactantes, LLCMK2 y Vero. Las cepas del virus aisladas de seis de estos pacientes se identificaron posteriormente como agentes causales de la fiebre amarilla, y es esta la primera vez que se logra aislar el virus en Perú
