  • If you travel to or are in an area affected by an Ebola outbreak, make sure to do the following:Practice careful hygiene. For example, wash your hands with soap and water or an alcohol-based hand sanitizer and avoid contact with blood and body fluids.Do not handle items that may have come in contact with an infected person’s blood or body fluids (such as clothes, bedding, needles, and medical equipment).Avoid funeral or burial rituals that require handling the body of someone who has died from Ebola.Avoid contact with bats and nonhuman primates or blood, fluids, and raw meat prepared from these animals.Avoid hospitals in West Africa where Ebola patients are being treated. The U.S. embassy or consulate is often able to provide advice on facilities.After you return, monitor your health for 21 days and seek medical care immediately if you develop symptoms of Ebola(http://www.cdc.gov/vhf/ebola/symptoms/index.html).

Ebola: Causes, Symptoms & Treatment - 0 views

    "There is no cure for Ebola, nor are there any vaccines that can prevent the disease. Those who recover from the disease do so through the strength of their own immune system, according to the CDC. Doctors have found that one of the most important treatments for patients afflicted with the virus is simply keeping them well hydrated and helping them breathe, to give their immune system a better chance to fight off the disease.  Doctors are trying several experimental treatments on patients. Some doctors are giving patients blood transfusions from those who have survived Ebola. The hope is that the survivor's antibodies will help the recipient's immune system fight off the virus. A 1995 study published in the Journal of Infectious Disease found that this treatment may be helpful to reduce the number of deaths from EDV.  ZMapp is one experimental treatment for Ebola."

Ebola Virus: Symptoms, Treatment, and Prevention - 1 views

  • Ebola is a rare but deadly virus that causes bleeding inside and outside the body.As the virus spreads through the body, it damages the immune system and organs. Ultimately, it causes levels of blood-clotting cells to drop. This leads to severe, uncontrollable bleeding.The disease, also known as Ebola hemorrhagic fever or Ebola virus, kills up to 90% of people who are infected.
  • It spreads to people by contact with the skin or bodily fluids of an infected animal, like a monkey, chimp, or fruit bat.

  • Experimental vaccines and treatments for Ebola are under development, but they have not yet been fully tested for safety or effectiveness.
  • No FDA-approved vaccine or medicine (e.g., antiviral drug) is available for Ebola.Symptoms of Ebola and complications are treated as they appear. The following basic interventions, when used early, can significantly improve the chances of survival:Providing intravenous fluids (IV) and balancing electrolytes (body salts).Maintaining oxygen status and blood pressure.Treating other infections if they occur.
  • Recovery from Ebola depends on good supportive care and the patient’s immune response. People who recover from Ebola infection develop antibodies that last for at least 10 years, possibly longer. It is not known if people who recover are immune for life or if they can become infected with a different species of Ebola. Some people who have recovered from Ebola have developed long-term complications, such as joint and vision problems.
