Viral Hemorrhagic Fever
Presentation
- We present herein the cases of two patients with VHF, arising in the same area, hospitalized for a short period of time. One patient presented with renal failure, while severe hepatic involvement was predominant in the other.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- The clinical presentation is characterized by fever, malaise, increased vascular permeability, and coagulation defects that can result in bleeding.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Psychiatrical
Suggestibility
- The arenavirus Lassa virus and the flavivirus yellow fever virus exhibit similar molecular pathogenesis suggesting common underlying mechanisms.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- In addition, increased global travel suggests VHF diagnoses may be made outside of the endemic areas. Thus, understanding how to diagnose VHF is imperative for laboratories worldwide.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Isolation for affected patients was suggested by 65% nurses and 6% janitors. Knowledge regarding burial procedure of dead patients was low in all groups.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Extrapolation of this interaction with serum glycoproteins suggests that PHA given intravenously in adequate dosage should readily be able to block the deleterious Ebola virus glycoprotein effects.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Epistaxis
- Ecchymoses often are accompanied by hemorrhage in other locations: epistaxis, puncture sites, hematemesis, melena, and hematuria. Image provided by Robert Swaneopoel, PhD, DTVM, MRCVS, National Institute of Virology, Sandringham, South Africa.[emedicine.medscape.com]

- According to the global health body, the illness caused by Marburg virus begins abruptly, with severe headache and malaise.[news.xinhuanet.com]
- Symptoms may include fever, muscle and body aches, headache, and vomiting, as well as bleeding from the mouth, nose, or internal organs. To confirm the diagnosis, doctors do blood tests or sometimes examine infected tissue under a microscope.[merckmanuals.com]

Other Test Results
Decreased Plasma Volume
- VHF is characterized by malaise, fever, vascular permeability, decreased plasma volume, coagulation abnormalities, and varying degrees of hemorrhage.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Microbiology
Plasmodium Falciparum
- The objective of this study was to assess the impact of different inactivation methods on the performance of rapid diagnostic tests for Plasmodium falciparum. Triton X-100 and gamma-irradiation of samples preserved detection.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment
- Prior studies of different experimental Marburg treatments involved daily dosing for 7 and 14 days, respectively, with treatment beginning closer to the time of infection.[genengnews.com]

- Generally there is no known cure or treatment for these diseases. People with these illnesses may get supportive treatment. This may include getting fluids or assistance with breathing and pain relievers.[hopkinsmedicine.org]
Etiology
- The etiologic agents of the diseases, Ebola virus, Marburg virus and Lassa virus, respectively, are categorized as viruses with biosafety level 4, because of their high mortality, high transmissibility and the lack of effective vaccines and therapeutic[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Pathophysiology
- Advances in our understanding of the pathophysiology of these diseases have improved our initial supportive management and led to the recognition of several potentially useful antiviral agents.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prevention
- The VHFs are associated with a high case-fatality rate but are readily prevented by well-known basic precautions.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
