Abstract
Lassa fever is an acute viral illness which causes considerable morbidity and mortality in West Africa. The risk of importing the disease into the UK is small but real, and it continues to be a worldwide concern among public health officials. This article summarizes its epidemiology and clinical presentation, and discusses current theories of its pathogenesis.
