2013年至2016年在西非肆虐的埃博拉疫情是自1976年发现该病毒以来规模最大的一次。在这次流行期间，报告了1.1万多例病例，致死率超过67%。已经描述了几种传播方式。在疫情期间指出的巨大困难是估计无症状和有症状病例的数量，但有证据表明，这些人群已经与病毒接触了一段时间。因此，它们可能是流行病传播的一个来源。在本文中，我们在几内亚-科纳克里报告了三个可能的埃博拉病毒缺乏症状形式的故事，这些故事可能是2014年至2015年期间几内亚受疫情严重影响的人群中大规模感染的原因。
The ebola epidemic that raged in West Africa between 2013 and 2016 was the largest since the discovery of the virus in 1976. During this epidemic, more than 11,000 cases were notified with a lethality of over 67%. Several means of transmission have been described. The great difficulty noted during the epidemic was the estimation of the number of asymptomatic and pauci symptomatic cases, however there is evidence that this population has been in contact with the virus for some time. Thus, they could be a source for the spread of the epidemic. In this paper, we report in Guinea-Conakry three stories of probable pauci-symptomatic form of ebola disease that would have been the cause of massive infection in a population sorely tried by the epidemic between 2014 and 2015 in Guinea.
