Abstract

An epidemic of type 1 poliomyelitis in Gazankulu, which is a self-governing National State in the north-eastern part of South Africa, is described. 260 cases of paralytic poliomyelitis, included 42 deaths, were recorded between 1st May and 3rd September 1982. 92% of cases, who were all admitted to hospital, were in the age group 0 to 5 years. The vaccination status of cases was found to be low: 69% said they had received no vaccination and a further 15% were unsure. Recommendations on the steps to be taken to prevent a recurrence can be gleaned from the discussion in Part II of this article, Laboratory and vaccine aspects (see pp. 24-29 below).

摘要

本文描述了发生在加赞库卢的1型脊髓灰质炎疫情。加赞库卢是南非东北部的一个自治国家。1982年5月1日至9月3日期间，共记录了260例麻痹性脊髓灰质炎病例，其中42人死亡。所有入院病例中，92%为0至5岁年龄组。发现病例的疫苗接种率很低：69%的人表示未接种疫苗，另有15%不确定。关于预防疫情复发应采取的措施的建议，可从本文第二部分“实验室和疫苗方面”的讨论中收集（见下文第24 - 29页）。
