Psychiatrical
- Suggestibility
This report describes the first use of intravenous ribavirin therapy for BHF in humans, and the results suggest the need for more extensive clinical studies to assess the usefulness of ribavirin for treating BHF. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The absence of communitywide epidemics of BHF suggests that focused rodent control in towns of the disease-endemic region prevented large urban outbreaks. [wwwnc.cdc.gov]
Structural database comparison ( 27, 45 ) suggests that MACV GP1 is composed of a fold that has not been previously observed. [jvi.asm.org]
That all 5 patients were farmers suggests their infections were probably acquired through occupational exposure. Although all the patients received plasma transfusion from patients who had survived BHF infection, 3 patients still died. [dx.doi.org]
Face, Head & Neck

In the later stages of this illness, patients may develop hemorrhagic manifestations including subconjunctival hemorrhage, epistaxis, hematemesis, melena, and hematuria, as well as neurological signs including tremor, seizures, and coma. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Advanced symptoms include mucous membrane haemorrhage, epistaxis, melena, and neurological damage such as tremors, seizures, loss of muscle control, and coma. Symptoms usually arise after a one week incubation period and generally last for one week. [microbewiki.kenyon.edu]

The current treatment for Argentine and Bolivian hemorrhagic fever is a serum administered to a patient after the disease has been diagnosed, and this treatment is quite effective. [diki.pl]
Etiology
The etiologic agent of Bolivian hemorrhagic fever (BHF), Machupo virus (MACV) is reported to have a mortality rate of 25-35%. [utmb.influuent.utsystem.edu]
The etiological agent is Machupo virus (MACV, Arenaviridae). Related posts Arenavirus ; Lassa Fever ; Viral hemorrhagic fevers The virus is similar to that which causes Argentine hemorrhagic fever, and its reservoir is also wild rodents. [histopathology-india.net]

The hemorrhagic fevers remained in the area for three centuries and the etiologic agent is still unknown. [johnhawks.net]
Epidemiology
One patient with laboratory-confirmed Machupo virus infection who received ribavirin recovered without sequelae, as did a second patient with suspected BHF whose epidemiological and clinical features were similar to those of the first patient. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prevention
A reemergence of reported BHF cases has been reported in recent years, which necessitates the further study and development of a vaccine to prevent future outbreaks. [utmb.influuent.utsystem.edu]
During the BHF epidemics in the 1960s, rodent control was recognized as the primary method for the prevention of Machupo virus transmission (9). [wwwnc.cdc.gov]
