Medical alert
A case of yellow fever has been reported in Nairobi’s South C, a day after the Health ministry sent an alert following a man’s death.
The ministry sent the alert to points of entry to Kenya, hospitals and counties after a 31-year-old who had been in Angola died at KNH.
.
To the good doctors in this village, do we have a reason to be worried.

The yellow fever virus is an arbovirus of the flavivirus genus, and the mosquito is the primary vector. It carries the virus from one host to another, primarily between monkeys, from monkeys to humans, and from person to person.
Several different species of the Aedes and Haemogogus mosquitoes transmit the virus. The mosquitoes either breed around houses (domestic), in the jungle (wild) or in both habitats (semi-domestic). There are three types of transmission cycles.

All in-Charges of Ports of Entry (POEs),
On 15th March 2016 the Ministry of Health was notified of a confirmed yellow fever case at KNH, Nairobi. The patient, a 31 year old Kenyan male, who had travelled from Luanda-Angola, the epicenter of an ongoing Yellow Fever Virus outbreak arrived in the country on 12th March 2016 through JKIA. Twelve hours later he presented to a private health facility in Eastleigh - Nairobi with fever, joint pains and bleeding tendencies. The clinician suspected hemorrhagic fever and transferred the patient to KNH where he later developed jaundice, confusion and kidney failure. Laboratory tests conducted at KEMRI tested positive for Yellow Fever IgM antibodies and negative for Ebola and Marburg. He later succumbed to multi-organ failure.
Angola is currently facing a huge yellow fever outbreak with 810 cases and about 138 deaths, as last week.
This is an imported case and the likelihood of local transmission is low. However, take note of the following measures which should be implemented immediately:
Health workers at Points of Entry (POEs) should ensure all travelers from Yellow fever high risk countries (including Angola) have valid Yellow Fever vaccination certificates.
Investigate anyone with a history of travel to Angola presenting with acute onset of fever, followed by jaundice within two weeks of onset of first symptoms. The suspected case may or may not have hemorrhagic manifestations.
Investigate unusual clustering of febrile illness or any unexplained deaths.
Conduct active suspected yellow fever case search in all health facilities and communities for missed or unreported cases.
Strengthen surveillance activities up to the village level and ensure 100% case based reporting.

The article was published 5 years ago.
I’m sure majority of you have been vaccinated against yellow fever as a child. The only people who should be worried are the anti-vaccine brigade and infants who have yet to be vaccinated.
