Mr. Kundan Deore

Abstract :

Ebola virus disease (EVD), formerly known as Ebola haemorrhagic fever, is a severe, often fatal illness affecting humans and other primates. The incubation period, that is, the time interval from infection with the virus to onset of symptoms, is from 2 to 21 days. It can be difficult to clinically distinguish EVD from other infectious diseases such as malaria, typhoid fever and meningitis. There is no proven treatment for Ebola but simple interventions early on can significantly improve chances of survival. Health workers have an obligation to provide the best medical care to improve patient survival, but also to provide symptom relief and palliation when required. Transmission of Ebola virus disease occurs through contact with infected body fluids, or contaminated surfaces or equipment. Reducing the risk of wildlife–to–human transmission, Reducing the risk of human–to–human transmission, Outeak containment measures, Reducing the risk of possible sexual transmission, Reducing the risk of transmission from pregnancy related fluids and tissue.
