Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis can no longer be regarded as a rare disease in all parts of southern Africa. Information derived from a third postal survey added to that from our own experience in Cape Town has brought to light 116 cases; 61 of the patients came from the Cape Province, 40 from the Transvaal and the remaining 15 from the other regions. This unequal distribution and the high prevalence in the Coloured community are important factors in any attempt to understand the epidemiology and the pathogenesis of this serious complication of measles.
在非洲南部各地，亚急性硬化性全脑炎再也不能被视为一种罕见疾病了。第三次邮政调查所得信息，加上我们在开普敦的自身经验，已发现了116例病例；其中61名患者来自开普省，40名来自德兰士瓦省，其余15名来自其他地区。这种分布不均以及在有色人种社区中的高患病率，是任何试图了解这种麻疹严重并发症的流行病学和发病机制的重要因素。
