has anyone ever heard of african black spot disease? I recently had a friend whose grandchildren were feared to have african black spot disease. It is supposedly a very rare disease. I guess it is something like the measles. I for one have never heard of this. Symptoms include: high fever and swollen spleen. If anyone has ever heard of this or a similar disease please let me know as I am anxious to find out more about this.

Thank you in advance for your help.
