Ebola Research
Current Ebola research includes a study on an experimental vaccine that may prevent the virus. This eMedTV article looks at research now under way to better understand and treat Ebola, such as studies of new diagnostic tools.
Ebola Symptoms
For people with Ebola, symptoms commonly include fever, sore throat, weakness, vomiting, and diarrhea. This eMedTV resource identifies common symptoms of Ebola, which typically appear within four to six days after infection.
Ebola Treatment
Ebola treatment usually consists of providing supportive care while the body fights the infection. This eMedTV segment describes aspects of treatment for Ebola, which may include antibiotics, oxygen, IV fluids, and good nursing care.
Ebola Vaccine
An experimental Ebola vaccine has been shown to be effective in monkeys. However, as explained on this eMedTV Web page, more research needs to be done before such a vaccine is licensed for use in humans, which could have implications for other diseases.
