Epidemiology of ebola viral disease Graciah Shoba, Thilagavathi Lecturer, Ganga College of Nursing, Coimbatore Online published on 23 May, 2017. Abstract Ebola viral disease is an acute viral syndrome that presents with fever and an ensuing bleeding diathesis that is marked by high mortality in human and nonhuman primates. Fatality rates are between 50% and 100%. Supportive management of infected patients is the primary method of treatment, with particular attention to maintenance of hydration, circulatory volume, blood pressure, and the provision of supplemental oxygen. Since there is no specific treatment outside of supportive management and palliative care, containment of this potentially lethal virus is paramount. In almost all outbreaks of EVD, the fatality rate among health care workers with documented infections was higher than that of non-health care workers.
