Currently there is no medicine that can be used to treat it. Our best way of fighting it is to keep the patient hydrated and allow his/her own immune system to fight it. However, it is a VERY aggressive virus that is known to have a Death Rate in the 80%-90%+ range. The virus utilizes specific receptors within your blood vessels and causes the cells that line your arteries and veins to not hold blood resulting in internal bleeding. Currently work is being done to figure out how to stop Ebola by not allowing it to use the receptors it needs in order to cause its efects, however this is a very complicated task and because Ebola is considered an exotic and rare virus it gets little funding compared to HIV or influenza research.
