They were forced to watch people die, hoping that they would be saved from the violent death of the Ebola virus. From the year of 1976 to the present date of 1996, researchers have searched for

Recurrent epistaxis is one of the diagnostic criteria for Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia (HHT). HHT is an autosomal-dominant disorder that is also depicted by skin and mucosal telangiectasias. Feared complications of HHT include rupture of pulmonary or cerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVM). The etiology of HHT is most often due to genetic mutations that impair normal angiogenesis. We report a case of suspected HHT in a 49-year-old female, with a first-degree relative with HHT, and a history

Every time you turn on the news or pick up a newspaper, there is something being reported about the spread of Ebola.

What exactly is Ebola? Ebola is a viral hemorrhagic fever actually named after the River Ebola in Zaire, Africa, where it was first discovered. It belongs to a genus of ribonucleic viruses called filoviruses, under the family Filofiridae, which are characterized by their filament-like (thread-like)

Ebola Virus Disease Richard Wakeland St. Petersburg College Ebola Virus Disease Ebola virus disease (EVD) formerly known as Ebola hemorrhagic fever is an often fatal disease caused by a virus. This virus can cause severe hemorrhagic fever in humans (Occupational Safety & Health Administration [OSHA], N.D.). With world worldwide attention for its high mortality rate, lack of effective treatment or vaccination EVD has become an important public health pathogen (Feldmann & Geisbert, 2011).

in history sweeps through West Africa” (Cullinane & Park, 2014, para. 1). Spread of the potential health crisis known as Ebola can be decelerated by understanding it, learning how to treat it, and quarantining. The Ebola virus causes a high-risk hemorrhagic fever that affects multiple organ systems in the body and is often accompanied by bleeding (Cullinane & Park, 2014, What is Ebola? section, para. 1). Medecins Sans Frontiers (2014) says, “It is a highly infectious virus that can kill up to 90 percent

threat in today’s society. Ebola was one of the extremely deadly viruses that was first found in Africa. It took hundreds of lives when the victims was left disoriented, exhausted, and collapsed in a fever. The Ebola virus is well known that causes hemorrhagic fever in humans, which is distinguished by massive bleeding in internal and external and destruction of internal tissues and organs. People were lying on their deathbed, craving and sobbing for a miracle to happen, but eventually their bodies were

The first identification of the Ebola Hemorrhagic Fever occurred in 1976, when the newly recognized disease hit Sudan and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, formally named Zaire. Laboratory confirmed cases of the 1976 outbreak in Zaire put the number of infected persons at 318, with 280 eventually

Our world is currently facing a deadly epidemic which we are calling it a very dangerous viruses that humanity is facing since HIV/AIDS. This virus is called the Ebola hemorrhagic virus. Although there were broadcasts about tentative cures that were conveyed to be prosperous with treating the virus, people all around the world remain to pass on from Ebola. Although this virus is fatal, its signs are occasionally the same as other less dangerous diseases like the flu or a fever. To relax your anxiety
