With a case fatality rate of 90, what kind of virus is Ebola?

Ebola is a deadly virus with a mortality rate of up to 90 percent, with symptoms of nausea and vomiting at first, and death from organ failure if left untreated。I believe many people have heard of the name of Ebola, and when it is mentioned, many people first think of it as highly contagious and has a high mortality rate, and the Ebola virus was once listed as one of the most dangerous viruses by the World Health Organization.

First, it is highly contagious.

The Ebola virus is very contagious, and if someone in a village is infected with Ebola, the whole village will soon be affected. Ebola can be transmitted in many ways, including bodily fluids, blood, air contact, etc., which is similar to the new coronavirus. If someone in a household is infected, there is almost an 80% chance that other members of the household will be infected.

Second, the mortality rate is high.

The Ebola virus is classified as one of the most dangerous viruses because it has a mortality rate of almost 90%, and sometimes doctors die from multiple organ failure before they even have time to treat patients. If it can be treated in time, and the degree of infection is mild, the mortality rate can be reduced to 50%.

3. Symptoms of infection.

The symptoms of Ebola infection are similar to those of a cold, such as nausea and vomiting, abdominal pain and diarrhea, fever and headache, etc., because the local medical level is relatively backward, coupled with the poor standard of living, many people will ignore these small symptoms. In the following days, the condition deteriorates rapidly, and the patient will have myocardial infarction, stroke, organ failure, shock and other problems, and the rate of retreatment is usually very low. The incubation period of the Ebola virus is generally around 5-10 days, the longest patient can reach 21 days, and the shortest patient will become ill in two days.

In short, the Ebola virus is a highly contagious and highly fatal infectious virus, with multiple outbreaks in South Africa and other places, and even causing tens of thousands of deaths. In addition to humans being affected, some animals can also be infected with the Ebola virus.

It is a very contagious virus, and it can also infect many people in a short period of time, so the expansion of the virus is very strong, and we need to be vigilant and never get infected with the virus.

Ebola is a very serious infectious disease, and it is still occurring in Africa. The mortality rate from Ebola is very high.

It is a very terrible virus, the infection rate and fatality rate are quite high, once infected, it will form a transmission chain, which is very scary.

The Ebola virus is highly contagious, and drugs** cannot keep up with the virus's invasion, with a case fatality rate of up to 90 percent.

According to the British "Mirror", the United States medical research agency recently warned that as of 2015, the ongoing Ebola epidemic has caused as many as 90,000 deaths worldwide.

Ebola virus is the deadliest virus in human history, with a mortality rate of between 50% and 90%, and the World Health Organization ranks it as one of the most harmful viruses to humans, that is, a "level 4 virus".

The Ebola virus can cause acute and severe illness and is often fatal if left untreated. Ebola virus disease (EVD) first emerged in 1976 in two simultaneous outbreaks, one in what is now Nzara in South Sudan and the other in Yambuku, Democratic Republic of the Congo. The latter occurred in a village near the Ebola River, hence the name of the disease.

The 2014–2016 outbreak in West Africa was the largest and most complex Ebola outbreak since the Ebola virus was first detected in 1976. The outbreak first occurred in Guinea and then spread to Sierra Leone and Liberia across the land border. The current 2018-2019 outbreak in eastern DRC is complex, with insecurity adversely affecting the public health response.

Johannesburg, November 12 (Xinhua) -- According to the latest statistics from the World Health Organization, the Ebola virus that has ravaged West Africa has killed 5,160 people as of November 9, breaking the 5,000 mark for the first time. At the same time, there are more than 14,000 confirmed or suspected cases of infection, with Sierra Leone becoming the country with the highest number of new cases.

Because the fatality rate of the Ebola virus is very high. <>

The Ebola virus spreads very quickly, mainly through the air, saliva and faeces, which is somewhat similar to the new coronavirus. As long as there is close contact with the patient, there is a high possibility of infection. There are many villages in Africa, and if one Ebola patient is detected, the entire village can be affected.

With a fatality rate of more than 50% to 90%, Ebola is one of the deadliest viruses currently known to mankind. You know, the fatality rate of the new crown pneumonia is only about 2%. A few days after diagnosis, the infected person dies of systemic organ failure.

In many cases, there is no time**. In addition, the local medical level in Africa is underdeveloped, so the mortality rate is even higher. However, the rapid development of the disease also has the advantage that it cannot spread too far in these backward parts of Africa.

For example, if someone in this village is infected, all the patients will die within a few days, and there will be no chance of infecting the next village. Perhaps it is because of this characteristic that the Ebola virus has not spread throughout Africa. <>

The Ebola virus is difficult to prevent and control, and the virus evolves quickly. In addition, when people study viruses, most of them are prevented through vaccines, but it will take some time for vaccines to be developed. And after the vaccine is developed, various experiments must be done to determine whether the vaccine is effective and whether it will affect the human body.

Therefore, there is no way to quickly develop an antidote for a virus with a high mortality rate like Ebola, and it is also very difficult to develop. Therefore, in order to be efficient, we need superb medical means and we need to work together to truly solve this problem. Therefore, it is necessary to recognize the nature of the virus and detect it in time, so that the virus can be effectively prevented.

The Ebola virus is very different from ordinary viruses, both in terms of transmission speed and spread, it is more terrible than ordinary viruses, and once people are infected with the virus, it is likely to cause death.

Because this virus is very powerful, and it is also very contagious, and this disease is very difficult, this virus is one of the most lethal viruses on the planet.

This is because the Ebola virus has a very high probability of transmission, and it is a particularly difficult disease, which can spread infection through blood, so the chance of death is particularly high.
