Ebola Virus Disease: A Perspective for the United States

The American Journal of Medicine
Miguel G Madariaga

Abstract

Ebola virus caused an epidemic of unprecedented extension in West Africa. There was concern that the outbreak would not be controlled for a prolonged period of time. Two cases of infected returning travelers have been reported in the US. One of the cases has been associated with secondary transmission and other infected subjects have been repatriated for treatment. This article reviews the etiology, pathogenesis, transmission, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of the disease with emphasis on the identification and management in the US.
