A 47-year-old Belgian woman acquired yellow fever during a 1-week vacation in The Gambia; she had never been vaccinated against yellow fever. She died of massive gastrointestinal bleeding 7 days after the onset of the first symptoms. This dramatic case demonstrates that it is important for persons to be vaccinated against yellow fever before they travel to countries where yellow fever is endemic, even if the country, like The Gambia, does not require travelers to be vaccinated.
一名47岁的比利时女性在冈比亚度假一周期间感染了黄热病；她从未接种过黄热病疫苗。在出现首例症状7天后，她死于严重的胃肠道出血。这一严重病例表明，对于前往黄热病流行国家旅行的人来说，即使像冈比亚这样的国家不要求旅行者接种疫苗，提前接种黄热病疫苗也很重要。
