Twenty deaths have occurred in Benue state, believed to be caused by yellow fever. If confirmed, this will be the 4th Nigerian state with active yellow fever virus transmission. The state epidemiologist has called it a hemorrhagic viral infection with an unusual presentation, but they are waiting for results to call it yellow fever.
Nigeria is currently planning a yellow fever campaign in response to the outbreak in several other states. Twenty six people in Benue state are currently sick, so the focus for now will remain on treating those infected.
What will be informative to track will be the effectiveness of the yellow fever campaign planned. The state epidemiologist noted that the state has been challenged by local beliefs. The community believes this sickness is occurring because they offended the gods of the land. What approach will Benue take in order to effectively implement this yellow fever campaign for local communities? Cultural acceptance of any health initiatives will be vital.
