CDC was contacted on June 22, 2010, by the Ugandan Ministry of Health (MoH)/Uganda Virus Research Institute and on July 11 by the Government of Southern Sudan (GOSS) via the CDC Global Disease Detection Regional Center in Kenya to perform diagnostic laboratory testing on conjunctival swabs from persons with "red eye syndrome." Widespread, ongoing outbreaks of acute hemorrhagic conjunctivitis (AHC) have been observed in Uganda and Southern Sudan since spring 2010. AHC becomes a reportable condition in outbreak settings. Case numbers were estimated in Uganda after MoH confirmation of reported cases from district health facilities and, in Southern Sudan, after a medical record review in six health facilities. To date, 6,818 cases from 26 districts in Uganda, and 428 cases in Juba, Southern Sudan, have been counted; however, because most cases are not reported, these totals are considered underestimates.
2010 年 6 月 22 日，美国疾病控制与预防中心（CDC）接到乌干达卫生部（MoH）/乌干达病毒研究所的报告，7 月 11 日，又接到南苏丹政府（GOSS）通过设在肯尼亚的 CDC 全球疾病探测区域中心的报告，要求对出现“红眼综合征”的患者的结膜拭子进行诊断性实验室检测。自 2010 年春季以来，乌干达和南苏丹持续发生急性出血性结膜炎（AHC）广泛暴发。在暴发情况下，AHC 成为应报告的疾病。乌干达在卫生部确认来自地区卫生机构的报告病例后估算病例数，在南苏丹则在对 6 家卫生机构的病历进行审查后估算病例数。截至目前，乌干达 26 个区已报告 6818 例，南苏丹朱巴报告 428 例，但由于大多数病例未报告，因此这些总数被认为是低估的。
