Among them three patients died,with a mortali-ty of 1.25％. All of the cases were infected overseas,among which 224 patients returned from Africa and 16 patients from South-east Asia. The annual average morbidity was 0.28/100000,and there was a significantly difference among annual average mor-bidities(χ2=23.87,P<0.001).
