Ebola, also known as Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) and Ebola Hemorrhagic Fever (EHF), is a viral hemorrhagic fever in humans and other primates, caused by ebolaviruses. Symptoms typically start anywhere between two days and three weeks after becoming infected with the virus. The first symptoms are usually fever, sore throat, muscle pain, and headaches. The disease kills between 25% and 90% of those infected – about 50% on average. Death is often due to shock from fluid loss and typically occurs between six and 16 days after the first symptoms appear.
Ebola Meaning
Ebola Meaning
It is an infectious and frequently fatal disease marked by fever and severe internal and external bleeding, spread through contact with infected body fluids by a filovirus (Ebola virus), whose normal host species is unknown.
Ebola Symptoms
Onset
The length of time between exposure to the virus and the development of symptoms (incubation period) is between 2 and 21 days, and usually between 4 and 10 days. However, recent estimates based on mathematical models predict that around 5% of cases may take longer than 21 days to develop.
Symptoms usually begin with a sudden influenza-like stage characterized by:
The fever is usually higher than 38.3 °C (101 °F). The combination of severe vomiting and diarrhea often leads to severe dehydration. Next, shortness of breath and chest pain may occur, along with swelling, headaches, and confusion. In about half of the cases, the skin may develop a maculopapular rash, a flat red area covered with small bumps, five to seven days after symptoms begin.
Bleeding
In some cases, internal and external bleeding may occur. This typically begins five to seven days after the first symptoms. All infected people show some decreased blood clotting. This may cause vomiting blood, coughing up of blood, or blood in the stool.
Bleeding into the skin may create petechiae, purpura, ecchymoses, or hematomas (especially around needle injection sites). Bleeding into the whites of the eyes may also occur. Heavy bleeding is uncommon; if it occurs, it is usually in the gastrointestinal tract.
Recovery or death
Recovery may begin between seven and 14 days after the first symptoms. Death, if it occurs, follows typically six to sixteen days from the first symptoms and is often due to shock from fluid loss. In general, bleeding often indicates a worse outcome, and blood loss may result in death. People are often in a coma near the end of life.
Those who survive often have:
- Ongoing muscular and joint pain,
- Liver inflammation,
- Decreased hearing,
- Continued tiredness,
- Continued weakness,
- Decreased appetite,
- Difficulty returning to pre-illness weight, and
- Problems with vision may develop.
It is recommended that survivors of EVD wear condoms for at least twelve months after initial infection or until the semen of a male survivor tests negative for the Ebola virus on two separate occasions.
Survivors develop antibodies against Ebola that last at least 10 years, but it is unclear whether they are immune to additional infections.
Ebola Causes
EVD in humans is caused by four of six viruses of the genus Ebolavirus. The four are the Bundibugyo virus (BDBV), Sudan virus (SUDV), Taï Forest virus (TAFV) and one simply called Ebola virus (EBOV, formerly Zaire Ebola virus).
EBOV, species Zaire ebolavirus, is the most dangerous of the known EVD-causing viruses and is responsible for the largest number of outbreaks. The fifth and sixth viruses, Reston virus (RESTV) and Bombali virus (BOMV) are not thought to cause disease in humans but have caused disease in other primates. All five viruses are closely related to marburgviruses.
Virology
Ebolaviruses contain single-stranded, non-infectious RNA genomes. Ebolavirus genomes contain seven genes including 3′-UTR-NP–VP35–VP40–GP–VP30–VP24–L-5′-UTR. The genomes of the five different ebolaviruses (BDBV, EBOV, RESTV, SUDV, and TAFV) differ in sequence, and the number and location of the gene overlap.
As with all filoviruses, ebolavirus virions are filamentous particles that may appear in the shape of a shepherd’s crook, of a “U” or of a “6,” and they may be coiled, toroid, or branched. In general, ebolavirions are 80 nanometers (nm) in width and may be as long as 14,000 nm.
Ebola Transmission
It is believed that between people, Ebola disease spreads only by direct contact with the blood or other body fluids of a person who has developed symptoms of the disease. Body fluids that may contain Ebola viruses include:
- Saliva,
- Mucus,
- Vomit,
- Feces,
- Sweat,
- Tears,
- Breast milk,
- Urine, and
- Semen.
The WHO states that only people who are very sick are able to spread Ebola disease in saliva, and the virus has not been reported to be transmitted through sweat. Most people spread the virus through blood, feces, and vomit. Entry points for the virus include the nose, mouth, eyes, open wounds, cuts, and abrasions.
Ebola spreads through large droplets
Ebola may be spread through large droplets; however, this is believed to occur only when a person is very sick. This contamination can happen if a person is splashed with droplets. Contact with surfaces or objects contaminated by the virus, particularly needles, and syringes, may also transmit the infection. The virus is able to survive on objects for a few hours in a dried state and can survive for a few days within body fluids outside of a person.
Infections via sexual intercourse
The Ebola virus may be able to persist for more than three months in the semen after recovery, which could lead to infections via sexual intercourse. Virus persistence in semen for over a year has been recorded in a national screening program.
Ebola may also occur in the breast milk of women after recovery, and it is not known when it is safe to breastfeed again. The virus was also found in the eye of one patient in 2014, two months after it was cleared from his blood. Otherwise, people who have recovered are not infectious.
Incorrect medical isolation procedures
The potential for widespread infections in countries with medical systems capable of observing correct medical isolation procedures is considered low. Usually, when someone has symptoms of the disease, they are unable to travel without assistance.
Unprotected contact
Dead bodies remain infectious; thus, people handling human remains in practices such as traditional burial rituals or more modern processes such as embalming are at risk. 69% of the cases of Ebola infections in Guinea during the 2014 outbreak are believed to have been contracted via unprotected (or unsuitably protected) contact with infected corpses during certain Guinean burial rituals.
Poor function of health systems
Healthcare workers treating people with Ebola are at the greatest risk of infection. The risk increases when they do not have appropriate protective clothing such as masks, gowns, gloves, and eye protection; do not wear it properly; or handle contaminated clothing incorrectly. This risk is particularly common in parts of Africa where the disease mostly occurs and health systems function poorly.
There has been transmission in hospitals in some African countries that reuse hypodermic needles. Some healthcare centers caring for people with the disease do not have running water. In the United States, the spread to two medical workers treating infected patients prompted criticism of inadequate training and procedures.
Airborne transmission
Human-to-human transmission of EBOV through the air has not been reported to occur during EVD outbreaks, and airborne transmission has only been demonstrated in very strict laboratory conditions, and then only from pigs to primates, but not from primates to primates.
The Spread of EBOV by water or food other than bushmeat has not been observed. No spread by mosquitos or other insects has been reported. Other possible methods of transmission are being studied.
The initial case of Ebola
Direct contact with an infected wild animal or fruit bat
Although it is not entirely clear how Ebola initially spreads from animals to humans, the spread is believed to involve direct contact with an infected wild animal or fruit bat. Besides bats, other wild animals sometimes infected with EBOV include several species of monkeys such as baboons, great apes (chimpanzees and gorillas), and duikers (a species of antelope).
Animals may become infected when they eat fruit partially eaten by bats carrying the virus. Fruit production, animal behavior, and other factors may trigger outbreaks among animal populations.
Domestic dogs and pigs
Evidence indicates that both domestic dogs and pigs can also be infected with EBOV. Dogs do not appear to develop symptoms when they carry the virus, and pigs appear to be able to transmit the virus to at least some primates.
Although some dogs in an area in which a human outbreak occurred had antibodies to EBOV, it is unclear whether they played a role in spreading the disease to people.
Reservoir
The natural reservoir for Ebola has yet to be confirmed; however, bats are considered to be the most likely candidate. Three types of fruit bats (Hypsignathus monstrosus, Epomops franqueti, and Myonycteris torquata) were found to possibly carry the virus without getting sick. As of 2013, whether other animals are involved in its spread is not known. Plants, arthropods, rodents, and birds have also been considered possible viral reservoirs.
Deforestation has been mentioned as a possible contributor to recent outbreaks, including the West African Ebola virus epidemic. Index cases of EVD have often been close to recently deforested lands.
Ebola Diagnosis
When EVD is suspected, travel, work history, and exposure to wildlife are important factors with respect to further diagnostic efforts.
Laboratory testing
Possible non-specific laboratory indicators of EVD include a low platelet count; an initially decreased white blood cell count followed by an increased white blood cell count; elevated levels of the liver enzymes alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST); and abnormalities in blood clotting often consistent with disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) such as a prolonged prothrombin time, partial thromboplastin time, and bleeding time. Filovirions such as EBOV may be identified by their unique filamentous shapes in cell cultures examined with electron microscopy.
The specific diagnosis of EVD is confirmed by isolating the virus, detecting its RNA or proteins, or detecting antibodies against the virus in a person’s blood.
Differential diagnosis of Ebola
Early symptoms of EVD may be similar to those of other diseases common in Africa, including malaria and dengue fever. The symptoms are also identical to those of other viral hemorrhagic fevers such as Marburg virus disease, Crimean–Congo hemorrhagic fever, and Lassa fever.
Non-infectious diseases that may result in symptoms similar to those of EVD include:
- Acute promyelocytic leukemia,
- Hemolytic uraemic syndrome,
- Snake envenomation,
- Clotting factor deficiencies/platelet disorders,
- Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura,
- Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia,
- Kawasaki disease, and
- Warfarin poisoning.
Ebola Prevention
Vaccines
An Ebola vaccine, rVSV-ZEBOV, was approved in the United States in December 2019. It appears to be fully effective ten days after being given. It was studied in Guinea between 2014 and 2016. More than 100,000 people have been vaccinated against Ebola as of 2019.
Infection control
Caregivers
People who care for those infected with Ebola should wear protective clothing including masks, gloves, gowns, and goggles. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommend that the protective gear leaves no skin exposed. In Sierra Leone, the typical training period for the use of such safety equipment lasts approximately 12 days.
Patients and household members
The infected person should be in barrier isolation from other people. Education of caregivers in these techniques, and providing such barrier-separation supplies has been a priority of Doctors Without Borders.
Disinfection
Ebolaviruses can be eliminated with heat (heating for 30 to 60 minutes at 60 °C or boiling for five minutes). To disinfect surfaces, some lipid solvents such as alcohol-based products, detergents, sodium hypochlorite (bleach) or calcium hypochlorite (bleaching powder), and other suitable disinfectants may be used at appropriate concentrations.
General population
Education of the general public about the risk factors for Ebola infection and of the protective measures individuals may take to prevent infection is recommended by the World Health Organization. These measures include avoiding direct contact with infected people and regular hand washing using soap and water.
Bushmeat
Bushmeat, an important source of protein in the diet of some Africans, should be handled and prepared with appropriate protective clothing and thoroughly cooked before consumption.
Some research suggests that an outbreak of Ebola disease in the wild animals used for consumption may result in a corresponding human outbreak. Since 2003, such animal outbreaks have been monitored to predict and prevent Ebola outbreaks in humans.
Corpses, burial
Certain burial rituals, which may have included making various direct contact with a dead body, require reformulation so that they consistently maintain a proper protective barrier between the dead body and the living. Social anthropologists may help find alternatives to traditional rules for burials.
Transport, travel, contact
As of August 2014, the WHO does not consider travel bans to be useful in decreasing the spread of the disease. In October 2014, the CDC defined four risk levels used to determine the level of 21-day monitoring for symptoms and restrictions on public activities.
The CDC recommends monitoring for the symptoms of Ebola disease for those both at “low risk” and at higher risk.
Laboratory
In laboratories where diagnostic testing is carried out, biosafety level 4-equivalent containment is required. Laboratory researchers must be properly trained in BSL-4 practices and wear proper PPE.
Isolation
Isolation refers to separating those who are sick from those who are not. Quarantine refers to separating those who may have been exposed to a disease until they either show signs of the disease or are no longer at risk. Quarantine, also known as enforced isolation, is usually effective in decreasing spread.
Contact tracing
Contact tracing is considered important to contain an outbreak. It involves finding everyone who had close contact with infected individuals and monitoring them for signs of illness for 21 days. If any of these contacts comes down with the disease, they should be isolated, tested, and treated. Then the process is repeated, tracing the contacts’ contacts.
How to Manage Ebola to avoid Death
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) advises people to be careful of advertisements making unverified or fraudulent claims of benefits supposedly gained from various anti-Ebola products.
Standard support
Treatment is primarily supportive in nature. Early supportive care with rehydration and symptomatic treatment improves survival. Rehydration may be via the oral or intravenous route. These measures may include:
The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends avoiding aspirin or ibuprofen for pain management, due to the risk of bleeding associated with these medications.
Home care
Where hospital care is not possible, the WHO’s guidelines for home care have been relatively successful. Recommendations include using towels soaked in a bleach solution when moving infected people or bodies and also applying bleach on stains.
Intensive care
This may include maintaining blood volume and electrolytes (salts) balance as well as treating any bacterial infections that may develop.
