Is this a different outbreak? Or same as [[1948-49 Akureyri outbreak]]? Perhaps the way it is described on [[List of myalgic encephalomyelitis and chronic fatigue syndrome outbreaks|List of outbreaks]] is a typo? --[[User:JenB|JenB]] ([[User talk:JenB|talk]]) 10:30, 8 July 2018 (PDT) :I think they might be the same, a BMJ article lists them as related: <blockquote>EPIDEMIC 6 1946β47 Iceland Sigurjonsson J Poliomyelitis and Akureyri Disease. Mixed epidemics of poliomyelitis and a disease resembling poliomyelitis with the character of the Akureyri Disease. Nord Med 1959; 61: 174β82. EPIDEMIC 7 1948β49 North Coast Towns, Iceland, Akureyri Nov/Dec 1948, Saudakrokur Dec 1948/Feb 1949, Isafordur Jan/April 1949 Sigurdsson B et al.

It's co-author is Johann Sigurjonsson, who described the previous outbreak. ~[[User:Notjusttired|Njt]] ([[User talk:Notjusttired|talk]]) 16:17, April 30, 2020 (EDT)
