We diagnosed 400 possible IgM-positive cases of chikungunya virus in Bo, Sierra Leone, during July 2012-January 2013 by using lateral flow immunoassays. Cases detected likely represent only a small fraction of total cases. Further laboratory testing is required to confirm this outbreak and characterize the virus.
我们于 2012 年 7 月至 2013 年 1 月在塞拉利昂的博城,通过使用侧流免疫分析诊断了 400 例可能的基孔肯雅热病毒 IgM 阳性病例。所检测到的病例可能仅代表总病例的一小部分。需要进一步的实验室检测来确认此次暴发并对病毒进行特征描述。
