A REVIEW ON EBOLA VIRUS, THE DISEASES, CAUSES AND MANAGEMENT

Abstract

Ebola virus diseases (EVD) is a painful reminder as an outbreak anywhere which can be a risk everywhere. The Global Health Security Agenda pursue to enforce public health systems in most affected countries to eliminate the spreads before they become emergencies. Hemorrhagic fever occurs in less than half of patients and it takes place most commonly in the gastrointestinal tract. The symptoms progress over the time and patients suffer from dehydration, stupor, confusion, hypotension, multi-organ failure, leading to fulminant shock and eventually death. Preclinical evaluation is also underway for various vaccine candidates. It has been hypothesized that infection of macrophages is one of the causes for development of hemorrhage. The objective of the proposed work is to review out the reason and management of Ebola virus and communicating clear and accurate information to all stakeholders including the general public which is the need of the hour.
