| فهرسة مساهمة: | Keywords: Federal Medical Center Owo (FMCO); Lassa fever; clinical features; lymphadenopathy Local Abstract: [plain-language-summary] Enlargement of lymph nodes, is a common symptom of many infections, however it is not commonly mentioned in patients with Lassa fever, a viral hemorrhagic fever that is endemic in West Africa. However, recent research suggests that lymphadenopathy may be underreported in Lassa fever patients. This new finding could have important implications for the diagnosis and treatment of the disease, as well as for our understanding of how it spreads. |
