The virus that causes Ebola cannot be killed with treatments; instead, healthcare providers focus on providing relief of the symptoms. This can be achieved by giving oxygen, IV fluids, antibiotics, and other medications. Even when these treatments are administered, death still occurs in 50 to 90 percent of cases.
