摘要

无国界医生组织和当地卫生部门最近提供的数据显示，在以前未受影响的尼日利亚各州，坏疽性口炎病例的增加令人担忧。坏疽性口炎是一种影响贫困人口的严重坏疽性疾病，会导致严重的面部毁容和高死亡率，尤其是在儿童中。尽管在发达地区坏疽性口炎已被根除，但撒哈拉以南非洲地区的坏疽性口炎发病率仍在不断攀升。本通报强调，迫切需要加强监测、提高认识、建立区域治疗中心和提供国际支持，以减轻坏疽性口炎在尼日利亚的影响，并避免该疾病在整个撒哈拉以南非洲地区恶化。

Resurgence of Noma (Cancrum Oris) in Nigeria.

Recent data from Médecins Sans Frontières and local health authorities highlight a concerning rise in noma cases across previously unaffected Nigerian states. Noma is a severe gangrenous disease affecting impoverished populations, causing severe facial disfigurement and high mortality rates, especially among children. Despite its eradication in developed regions, sub-Saharan Africa faces an escalating noma incidence. This communication highlights the urgent need for enhanced surveillance, awareness, regional treatment centers, and international support to mitigate its impact in Nigeria and avoid exacerbation of the condition across sub-Saharan Africa.

期刊介绍： The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, established in 1921, is published monthly by the American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene. It is among the top-ranked tropical medicine journals in the world publishing original scientific articles and the latest science covering new research with an emphasis on population, clinical and laboratory science and the application of technology in the fields of tropical medicine, parasitology, immunology, infectious diseases, epidemiology, basic and molecular biology, virology and international medicine. The Journal publishes unsolicited peer-reviewed manuscripts, review articles, short reports, images in Clinical Tropical Medicine, case studies, reports on the efficacy of new drugs and methods of treatment, prevention and control methodologies,new testing methods and equipment, book reports and Letters to the Editor. Topics range from applied epidemiology in such relevant areas as AIDS to the molecular biology of vaccine development. The Journal is of interest to epidemiologists, parasitologists, virologists, clinicians, entomologists and public health officials who are concerned with health issues of the tropics, developing nations and emerging infectious diseases. Major granting institutions including philanthropic and governmental institutions active in the public health field, and medical and scientific libraries throughout the world purchase the Journal. Two or more supplements to the Journal on topics of special interest are published annually. These supplements represent comprehensive and multidisciplinary discussions of issues of concern to tropical disease specialists and health issues of developing countries
