	abstract = {A small outbreak of louse-borne relapsing fever in Khartoum (May-June 1974) provided material for a clinico-pathological study. The history of the disease in the Sudan is reviewed and the clinical and laboratory findings in 32 patients are presented. Fever, headache, jaundice, epistaxis and hepatosplenomegaly were the commonest clinical findings; thrombocytopenia was detected in 93\% of cases. Although elevated levels of fibrin degradation products were found in most patients, disseminated intravascular coagulation could not be diagnosed. Hepatocellular derangement was found in 68\% of cases, while 78\% had high blood urea. In five autopsied bodies there was bronchopneumonia, interstitial edema with focal myocardial fibrosis, hepatic necrosis, splenic infarcts, increase in size and cellularity of the glomeruli and brain edema and congestion. Intracranial haemorrhage was found in three of the autopsied cases.},

	abstract = {An outbreak of louse-borne relapsing fever, due to the return of soldiers to their original recruitment areas, after the end of thirty years of fighting in northern Ethiopia, was reported in Arsi region, southern Ethiopia. The epidemic spread to different members of the community and eventually the schools. We studied 389 patients affected by the epidemic and who were admitted to Asella Hospital between June 1991 and May 1992. Twenty-seven per cent of the patients were ex-soldiers; 28\% were students, who were admitted to the hospital since the schools were opened after the summer vacations. The common clinical features of the disease were fever (99\%), headache (92\%), hepatosplenomegaly (66\%), myalgia (55\%), arthralgia (51\%), petechial rash (43\%), epistaxis (24\%) and jaundice (23\%). Observed complications were pneumonia (10\%), pulmonary edema (6\%), myocarditis (3\%) and 6 abortions in 15 pregnancies. Patients were treated with low dose penicillin anti I.V. fluids. The in-hospital case fatality rate was 3.6\%. Jarisch- Herxheimer reaction occurred in 43\% of the patients. 1.8\% of the patients had relapses after treatment.},

The findings indicated the need to develop appropriate intervention programmes both at school and community levels.},
