From january 1985 to march 1985, an epidemic of bacillary dysentery stroke one of the region in north Rwanda. The area struck, only 160 km2, is densely populated (720 inhabitants/km2). Multiresistant Shigella dysenteriae n. 1 is the only responsible factor. The study of this epidemic shows that, from an endemic disease, burst out can occur in a narrow area and in a short interval of time (7 weeks). The main risk factors have been identified on individual as well as collective level. The authors demonstrate the interest of a Public Health Laboratory as technical support of an Epidemiology Monitoring Department.
1985年1月至1985年3月，卢旺达北部某地区爆发了细菌性痢疾疫情。受灾地区面积仅160平方公里，人口密集（每平方公里720人）。多重耐药性痢疾志贺菌1型是唯一的致病因素。对此次疫情的研究表明，一种地方病可能会在狭小区域和短时间内（7周）突然爆发。已在个人和集体层面确定了主要风险因素。作者证明了公共卫生实验室作为流行病学监测部门技术支持的重要性。
