6. An Intro to Ebola The Harsh Killer
The Ebola virus was 1st discovered in 1976 in Zaire and Sudan (Countries in Africa).
Ebola - highest fatality rates of any human pathogenic virus, 90%.
The Ebola virus is one of two members of a family of RNA viruses called the Filoviridae
Transmitted by human contact with infected blood and bodily fluids of a diseased person, and by human contact with contaminated medical equipment such as needles.

8. Symptoms Begin to develop within about 4-6 days of being infected.
Includes fever, sore throat, vomiting, weakness, stomach pain, and a dry, hacking cough.
Death usually occurs during the 2nd week of symptoms, most often as a result of massive blood loss.

9. Symptoms Continued
Within a week, a raised rash appears over the entire body. The rash is often hemorrhagic (contains blood).
Hemorrhaging generally occurs from the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, causing the patient to bleed from both the mouth and rectum.

10. Treatment for Ebola No known cure
No medications have been developed to fight the virus.
Current treatment - supportive care. The patient is hospitalized (ICU).
There will be an attempt to correct bleeding abnormalities, often including transfusions of platelets and/or fresh blood.
