Hemorrhagic fever

is defined as a virus that causes severe bleeding, organ failure, and can lead to death (Mayo Clinic). Ebola was first discovered in 1976 near the Ebola River in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (CDC). It was previously known as Ebola Hemorrhagic Fever and is a very rare and deadly disease caused by infection with a strain of the Ebola virus (CDC). The Ebola virus has a 50% to 90% fatality rate (Visual Science Company). In 2014, there were only 6 cases in the U.S (Mayo Clinic). It is most

or water. c. Exposure to Ebola can occur in medical settings and other treatment centers. B. It typically takes five to seven days for symptoms to develop after becoming infected. (Servick) 1. Early symptoms of Ebola include: sudden occurrence of fever, muscle pains, headaches, chills, and sore throat, which are all common flu like symptoms. (Turner) 2. Overtime the symptoms become more severe and include nausea, bloodshot eyes, rash, chest pains, vomiting, and whooping cough. (Servick) 3. Slide

There are a lot of cases in Nigeria and in Senegal. The countries with cases of Ebola are Guinea, Liberia, Sierra Leone, United Kingdom, Nigeria, Senegal, Spain, United States and Mali. Ebola can infect anybody including animals. Ebola is a hemorrhagic fever caused by an infection in the body. It is very rare, but extremely deadly. Ebola has actually killed as many as 90% of the people that get the disease. The fatality rate is 53% overall, it went from 64% in Guinea to 39% in Sierra Leone. There

explanation of what causes Ebola, what it does, and how you can prevent it. What causes Ebola? How was it discovered? Ebola is caused by wild animal bites. Not from the U.S. of course but like monkey bites or even Fruit bats. It is also known as Ebola hemorrhagic fever. It is highly contagious and fatal if not treated. It was first discovered in 1976 in 2 simultaneous outbreaks in Nzara and Sudan.

Ebola Virus Disease (EVD), formally known as Ebola Hemorrhagic Fever, which is a severe, often fatal illness in humans. This virus is transmitted to people from wild animals and spread in human population through human transmission. The Ebola Virus Disease case rate is about 50% and they have varied from 25% to 90% in the past outbreaks. Ebola Virus causes an acute, serious illness which is often fatal if it is not treated, the virus first appeared in 1976 in 2 simultaneous outbreaks. One in which

The Outbreak of Ebola In March of 2014, the commonly known virus, previously referred to as hemorrhagic fever, now Ebola, had begun to take effect over Guinea in West Africa. The main outbreaks of this disease were centered in West Africa, but it also traveled to other places in the world, having less major effects. The Ebola disease comes in five different forms of viruses, four which can actually show symptoms in humans. Reston is the fifth strand of virus that can only be found in non-human primates

by limiting contact between the healthy and those infected. While early symptoms can strongly resemble flu like effects, the later effects have a much more drastic effect. The later symptoms of ebola can be confused with signs of Malaria, Typhoid fever, or meningitis. Those showing signs should seek immediate attention from an Ebola assigned treatment center and refrain from contact with any other

Consistent with the WHO’s Ebola Situation Reports, three categories of EVD incidence were included in this study—suspected, probable, and confirmed cases. Suspected cases included any person that had experienced symptoms consistent with EVD (e.g., high fever, vomiting) or had come in contact with persons that had suffered symptoms of EVD or a dead or sick animal. Probable cases are defined as those suspected cases evaluated by a physician. Confirmed cases are those suspected cases that were confirmed positive

As the second part of this reflection paper, I selected a book ‘A Short History of Disease’ by Sean Martin. He is a writer and filmmaker also known for his other famous books like The Knights Templar, Alchemy and alchemists, the Gnostics. His films include Lanterna Magicka: Bill Douglas & the secret history of cinema. The most alluring thing which conceives me to cull this book is a history of the disease, as a medical professional, it's always tantalizing to know from where all these begins and

EBOVs; EBOV being identified as the causative agent of the recent outbreak (Broadhurst, Brooks & Pollock, 2016). Ebola virus disease is caused by three Ebolaviruses – EBOV included. In humans, the disease is clinically characterized by severe hemorrhagic fever with a 90% fatality rate. Since its first outbreak (largely in Zaire and Sudan) in the 1970s, two more outbreaks have been
