Outbreak of Aflatoxin Poisoning - Eastern and Central Provinces, Kenya, January - July 2004

Year: 2004

Type: article

Abstract: This report summarizes the preliminary results of the outbreak investigation. Aflatoxin poisoning likely will continue to be a public health problem until culturally appropriate storage methods for dry maize are implemented by the local population. In addition, enhanced surveillance for human aflatoxin poisoning and testing of commercially sold maize for aflatoxin levels will lead to long-term improvements in public health.
