Ebola is translated as Ebola virus. 1976 in southern Sudan and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) Ebola River region found in 1976 in the region's Ebola River region, and attracted widespread attention and attention of the medical community,? Ebola? also got its name. In the genus Ebola virus of the family Fibroviridae, it is a category belonging to the general term for several viruses.EBHF is a virulent infectious virus that causes Ebola hemorrhagic fever in humans and other primates.The Ebola hemorrhagic fever it causes is the deadliest viral hemorrhagic fever in the world today.The symptoms of infected people are extremely similar to those of Marburg virus of the family Fibroviridae, including nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, skin discoloration, generalized pain, internal bleeding, external bleeding, and fever. The main causes of death are stroke, myocardial infarction, hypovolemic shock, or organ failure, with mortality rates ranging from 50 percent to 90 percent.
Ebola virus, biosafety level 4 (AIDS level 3, SARS level 3, the greater the level the tighter the protection). The virus can have an incubation period of 2 to 21 days, but usually only 5 to 10 days.
Experts have found that the Ebola virus is somewhat heat-resistant, but is killed in 60 minutes at 60 degrees Celsius. The virus is found mainly in the patient's body fluids and blood, so syringes, needles, puncture needles and cannulas used by patients should be thoroughly sterilized, most reliably using autoclave steam. Ebola may also be airborne. Experimenters exposed the head of a rhesus monkey to a cage and allowed it to inhale an aerosol containing the virus about 1 micron in diameter. The monkeys became ill after 4 ~ 5 days. Six staff members who were in close contact with the sick monkeys each day were found to be seropositive for the virus, and five of them had no history of trauma or injections, suggesting that droplet transmission may have been the cause.
The virus can be transmitted by direct contact with patient body fluids or by contact with patient skin and mucous membranes. The incubation period for the virus can range from 2 to 21 days, but is usually only 5 to 10 days.
Ebola may not be highly contagious in the early stages of the disease. Contact with a patient during this period may not even result in infection. As the disease progresses, there is a high biological risk from body fluids excreted by the patient due to diarrhea, vomiting and bleeding. Lack of proper medical equipment and hygiene training leads to large epidemics of the disease, often in poorer areas without modern hospitals and trained medical staff. These characteristics coincide with areas where many sources of infection are present. There is only one way to control the disease in such environments: the prohibition of * * * use of needles, which cannot be reused even when strictly sterilized; the isolation of patients; and the use of disposable face masks, gloves, goggles, and protective clothing, in all cases according to strict procedures. These measures should be strictly enforced for all health care workers and visiting workers.
