Ebola hemorrhagic fever (EHF) was first reported in 1976 with two concurrent outbreaks of acute viral hemorrhagic fever centered in Yambuku (near the Ebola river), Democratic Republic of Congo, and in Nzara, Sudan. The current outbreak of the Ebola virus was started by reporting the first case in March 2014 in the forest regions of southeastern Guinea. Due to infection rates raising over 13,000...

The Ebola Hemorrhagic Fever, caused by the virus, is a rare but severe disease and claims fatality rate of 50%. Although its origins date back to 1970s, epidemic in 2014-2016 marked most prominent appearance.

ebola virus disease is the important emerging disease in africa. this infection is deadly and has the main clinical feature as an acute hemorrhagic fever. the main hematological alteration in this infection is the platelet change. however, the change in other hematological parameters should be mentioned.

TFiloviruses particularly Ebola and Marburg viruses causes deadly hemorrhagic fevers in humans and non-human primates particularly the great apes (chimpanzees and gorillas). Ebola virus disease (EVD), which is also known as Ebola hemorrhagic fever (EHF) is caused by Ebola virus, which has a case fatality rate of up to 90% [1-3]. Ebola virus is among the most dangerous microorganisms today. It h...

The first known Ebola hemorrhagic fever (EHF) outbreak caused by Bundibugyo Ebola virus occurred in Bundibugyo District, Uganda, in 2007. Fifty-six cases of EHF were laboratory confirmed. Although signs and symptoms were largely nonspecific and similar to those of EHF outbreaks caused by Zaire and Sudan Ebola viruses, proportion of deaths among those infected was lower (≈40%).

Ebola virus disease (EVD--formerly known as Ebola hemorrhagic fever) is a severe hemorrhagic fever caused by lipid-enveloped, nonsegmented, negative-stranded RNA viruses belonging to the genus Ebolavirus. Case fatality rates may reach up to 76% of infected individuals, making this infection a deadly health problem in the sub-Saharan population. At the moment, there are still no indications on o...

the genus ebola virus first was recognized in 1976, when two outbreaks occurred in zaire and sudan. ebola virus disease (evd) is a highly contagious disease that can affect both human and nonhuman primates: zaire ebolavirus (zebov), sudan ebolavirus (sebov), côte d’ivoire ebolavirus (cebov), bundibugyo ebolavirus (bebov) and reston ebolavirus (rebov) are five members of the filoviridae family t...

Ebola hemorrhagic fever is a deadly disease caused by several species of ebolavirus. The current outbreak of 2014 is unique in that it has affected a greater number of people than ever before. It also has an unusual geographic distribution. Nonspecific findings such as fever and generalized weakness have traditionally been very common early in the acute phase. Ophthalmic manifestations have als...
