Typical disease vectors include rodents, ticks, or mosquitoes, but person-to-person transmission in health care settings or through sexual contact can also occur.
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.
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.
Many of the hemorrhagic fevers, such as Ebola, will cause death quite rapidly.
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.
Filoviruses are a family of viruses known for their thread-like appearance and ability to cause severe hemorrhagic fevers in humans and other primates. The most well-known members of this family include the Ebola virus and the Marburg virus, both of which can lead to high mortality rates. Filoviruses are typically transmitted through direct contact with infected bodily fluids or contaminated surfaces. Research into these viruses is crucial for developing effective treatments and vaccines.
The Fevers was created in 1964.
What test is used to diagnose viral hemorrhagic fever
You have bleeding disorder. There are many diseases like hemophilia can cause the same. Amongst the viral infections, you have acute hemorrhagic fevers like dengue, Ebola and marburg virus infections.
