Abstract

A retrospective epidemiological review of surveillance data from 2017–2023 across 27 Local Government Areas in Imo State, Nigeria. Of 231 suspected cases analysed, 21.2% (49) were confirmed positive with a case fatality rate of 8%. The investigation revealed geographic clustering, with eight districts accounting for 71% of suspected cases despite representing only 32% of the population.
