Via the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control: Weekly Epidemiological Report, Week 32. NCDC's reports are a bit late, but very detailed—and not just on Lassa fever. Excerpt:
In the reporting week ending on the 13th of August, 2017:
o There were 252 new cases of Acute Flaccid Paralysis (AFP) reported. None was confirmed as Polio. The last reported case of Polio in Nigeria was in August 2016. Active case search for AFP is being intensified as Nigeria has assiduously reinvigorated its efforts at eradicating Polio.
o 92 suspected cases of Cholera were reported from eight LGAs (four States) with ten (10) laboratory confirmed case and four (4) recorded deaths.
o There were 11 suspected cases of Cerebrospinal Meningitis (CSM) reported from six LGAs in six States. Of these, none was laboratory confirmed and no death was recorded. Ongoing surveillance for CSM has been intensified in the States.
o There were 375 suspected cases of Measles reported from 30 States. None was laboratory confirmed and six deaths were recorded.
In the reporting week, all States sent in their report. This is a remarkable improvement! Timeliness of reporting remains 83% in the previous and current weeks (Week 31 and 32) while completeness also remains at 100%. It is very important for all States to ensure timely and complete reporting at all times, especially during an outbreak
