Aprašymas

Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2016 in the subject Medicine - Epidemiology, grade: 1, Egerton University, language: English, abstract: This paper will provide a comprehensive overview of Ebola virus disease with emphasis on the clinical aspects: etiology, pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and treatment. Ebola virus disease has been identified as one of the most fatal diseases in humans. This disease was first identified in 1976, and it used to be called Ebola hemorrhagic fever since its initial outbreaks in Sudan and Democratic Republic of Congo near Ebola River, simultaneously (WHO, 2015). Since then, there have been perennial outbreaks in Central Africa, but the March 2014 outbreak in West Africa has turned out to be the most catastrophic outbreaks in which over 4,492 people have died from the disease.
