description Analysis of the situation with Lassa fever (LF) in accordance with the previously offered signs and characters, criteria and categories, actual for sanitary protection of territories from particularly dangerous viral infections (PDVI), showed LF to be a contagious PDVI classified as pathogenicity group I, capable of epidemic expansion.
