An outbreak of Yellow Fever in South Eastern State involving Uyo, Itu and Abak divisions is presented. The occurrence of few jaundiced cases with fever in places 29-35 km outside Uyo indicated that the epidemic was more widely spread than it was thought. The rural communities appeared to be more severely affected where a considerably large number of unrecorded deaths were reported. Mortality rate was about 56% among hospitalised patients. The diagnosis of Yellow Fever was confirmed by virus isolation and serology This was the first recorded outbreak in this area.
本文介绍了在尼日利亚东南部州（涉及乌约、伊图和阿巴克分区）爆发的黄热病疫情。在乌约市以外29至35公里处出现了几例伴有发热的黄疸病例，这表明疫情的传播范围比预想的更广。农村社区似乎受到的影响更为严重，据报告有大量未记录的死亡病例。住院患者的死亡率约为56%。通过病毒分离和血清学检测确诊为黄热病。这是该地区有记录以来的首次疫情爆发。 （注：原文未明确说明是哪个国家的东南部州，根据常见情况推测为尼日利亚，翻译中补充了这一信息以使译文更完整准确）
