A description is given of an outbreak of human plague in Lesotho in 1968 which was preceded by, and merged with, a typhoid epidemic. This circumstance was responsible for a diagnosis of typhoid fever being made in the earliest plague cases, especially as the clinical presentation was similar to that of the typhoid patients. Consequently, the plague epidemic ran its natural course and with the onset of winter the pneumonic form appeared. Serological follow-up studies of recovered patients were carried out up to 4 years after the outbreak.
本文描述了1968年莱索托发生的一场人类鼠疫疫情，该疫情之前有伤寒流行，并与之合并。这种情况导致在最早的鼠疫病例中被诊断为伤寒热，特别是因为临床表现与伤寒患者相似。因此，鼠疫疫情自然发展，随着冬季的到来，出现了肺鼠疫形式。对康复患者进行了疫情爆发后长达4年的血清学随访研究。
