A Bloch. Bull World Health Organ. 1978.

Abstract

A serological survey was undertaken at four Liberian hospitals in 1974 in which serum samples were taken from 104 health workers and 61 patients. Six persons had Lassa fever antibodies: four midwives and two students of midwifery. Of those persons who had lived in Loffa County, 4 of 22 midwives were seropositive whereas none of the other 39 residents were positive (P = 0.014).
