- Lassa fever (LF) is an acute febrile illness caused by the Lassa virus (LASV) that can be associated with bleeding, organ failure, and shock. It is endemic in several low and middle-income countries of the West African region: Guinea, Liberia, Nigeria and Sierra Leone. In Nigeria, which represents the most affected country, LF case management centers are operational in an increasing number of the country’s 36 states. Over the past few years, LF outbreaks have become a major public health concern due to a sharp increase in the number of cases. Treatment includes the antiviral drug ribavirin and supportive care. However, there is relatively little scientific information on the disease and its treatment, and the LF R&D roadmap of WHO recently identified the research on new specific LF treatment as a high priority.
