Due to the similarity of symptoms with malaria, Lassa fever is still a disease that is difficult to recognize and that may remain undiagnosed in health centers in Guinea. However, Guinea has very few reported acute human cases, and only a few studies have a posteriori described acute Lassa fever cases in the prefectures of Kindia, Faranah, Kissidougou, Guekedou, Macenta and N'Zérékoré in 1992 and 1996-1999 [12] [13] [14] . A total of 41 individuals in contact with the case in Kissidougou (n = 7), Mamou (n = 32) and Conakry (n = 2) were identified by the field teams, and further sampled for LASV RT-PCR as per Ministry of Health National Strategy guidelines in the case of VHF suspicion even in the absence of symptoms.	./cache/cord-325823-bt7xo9iq.txt	./txt/cord-325823-bt7xo9iq.txt
