MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep. 1998 May 22;47(19):389-91.
In April 1997, a cholera outbreak occurred among 90,000 Rwandan refugees residing in three temporary camps between Kisangani and Ubundu, Democratic Republic of Congo (formerly Zaire). Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) established two referral medical centers and a cholera treatment center in these camps. Personnel from MSF, Zairean nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), and the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) implemented morbidity and mortality surveillance to monitor refugee health status. This report presents the findings of the surveillance system and indicates this outbreak was characterized by a higher death rate than that observed in previous cholera outbreaks in refugee populations.
1997年4月，在刚果民主共和国（原扎伊尔）基桑加尼和乌本杜之间的三个临时营地中，9万名卢旺达难民中爆发了霍乱疫情。无国界医生组织（MSF）在这些营地设立了两个转诊医疗中心和一个霍乱治疗中心。无国界医生组织、扎伊尔非政府组织（NGO）以及联合国难民事务高级专员公署（UNHCR）的人员实施了发病率和死亡率监测，以监测难民的健康状况。本报告展示了监测系统的调查结果，并表明此次疫情的特点是死亡率高于以往难民群体霍乱疫情中的死亡率。
