Recovery from some hemorrhagic fevers is more certain than from others. The filoviruses are among the most lethal; fatality rates for Ebola range from 30-90%, while DHF-DSS cases result in a 1-5% fatality rate.
Hemorrhagic fevers can be prevented through vector control and personal protection measures.
The onset of hemorrhagic fevers may be sudden or gradual, but all of them are linked by the potential for hemorrhaging. However, not all cases progress to this very serious symptom.
Infections like Ebola which is found in areas like Uganda
Ebola
Viruses of the Arenaviridae family cause the Argentinian, Brazilian, Bolivian, and Venezuelan hemorrhagic fevers. Lassa fever, which occurs in west Africa, also arises from an arenavirus.
Many of the hemorrhagic fevers, such as Ebola, will cause death quite rapidly.
Most fevers caused by infection end as soon as the immune system rids the body of the pathogen and do not produce any lasting effects.
Hemorrhagic Fever....because you tend to bleed out of every internal and external orifice. Really nasty stuff...especially bleeding eyeballs. Ebola is one of many Hemorrhagic fevers though, there are a bunch of other nasty ones as well.

Typical disease vectors include rodents, ticks, or mosquitoes, but person-to-person transmission in health care settings or through sexual contact can also occur.
The diseases caused by hantaviruses are extraordinarily lethal. About 6-15% of people who contract HFRS have died. Almost half of all people who contract HPS will die
The Fevers was created in 1964.
