@entity17389 seems to have become endemic in the southern Sudan. The epidemic history of the disease in the Sudan is reviewed. We have studied 363 Sudanese @entity1 involved in an outbreak of louse-borne relapsing @entity221 in Khartoum (Sudan) between January and June 1974. 318 of the 363 @entity1 were new immigrants from the soughern Sudan to Khartoum. The clinical presentation varied. The common clinical fetures of the disease were: @entity221 (94%), @entity10 (85%), @entity828 (74%), @entity158 (66%), @entity490 and @entity925 (63%), @entity1087 (46%) and @entity1415 (40%). @entity882 was common. Biochemical evidence of hepatocellular and @entity8 was present in most @entity1 . The mortality rate was 5-5% with treatment. Post-mortem examination was performed on six cases. The organs predominantly involved were the liver, spleen, brain and lungs. The common causes of @entity204 were severe @entity99 , @entity55 , @entity510 and @entity9440 .
