In late June 2026, Ugandan health officials confirmed a case of the Marburg virus in a toddler in the western Kyegegwa District.
2026年6月下旬，烏干達衛生官員證實，西部基耶蓋瓦區一名幼童感染馬堡病毒。
Marburg is a severe, highly infectious haemorrhagic fever within the same family as Ebola.
馬堡病毒是一種與伊波拉病毒同屬、嚴重且極具傳染性的出血熱。
While the World Health Organization (WHO) was initially notified, concerns have surfaced because the Ugandan government has stopped providing regular updates.
儘管世界衛生組織（WHO）最初接獲通知，但由於烏干達政府已停止提供定期更新，相關疑慮隨之浮現。
Since mid-July, the lack of transparency has alarmed international health experts.
自7月中旬以來，缺乏透明度的情況令國際衛生專家感到震驚。
Rapid reporting is essential for controlling Marburg, as its early symptoms—fever and headache—often mimic common illnesses like malaria.
快速通報對於控制馬堡病毒至關重要，因為其早期症狀常與瘧疾等常見疾病混淆。
