An outbreak of acute jaundice syndrome (AJS) among the Rohingya refugees in Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh: Findings from enhanced epidemiological surveillance. by Md Khadimul Anam Mazhar, Flavio Finger, Egmond Samir Evers, Anna Kuehne, Melissa Ivey, Francis Yesurajan, Tahmina Shirin, Nurul Ajim, Ahammadul Kabir, Jennie Musto, Kate White, Amrish Baidjoe, Olivier le Polain de Waroux

“…Results from the month-long enhanced investigation did not point out widespread hepatitis E virus (HEV) transmission, but instead strongly suggested a large-scale hepatitis A outbreak of milder consequences, and highlighted a number of other concomitant causes of AJS (acute hepatitis B, hepatitis C, Leptospirosis), albeit most likely at sporadic level. Results strengthen the need for further water and sanitation interventions and are a stark reminder of the risk of other epidemics transmitted through similar routes in such settings, particularly dysentery and cholera. …”
