Ebola haemorrhagic fever (EHF) is a viral haemorrhagic fever and one of the most virulent viral diseases known to humankind. the virus is transmitted by direct contact with the blood, body fluids and tissues of infected persons
This virus on a recent report has spread to three countries in West Africa and has already killed about 82 people in Guinea and Liberia.
Although symptoms of these killer disease is not easily detected but Doctors have confirmed that it kills very fast on entering the body.
Telegraph reports:
At least 82 people have already died in Guinea and Liberia, and another 56 patients are suspected to be carrying the virus.
Many others could be infected and not yet know it because Ebola can take up to three weeks to show symptoms, before killing very quickly from uncontrollable internal and external bleeding. Nine in 10 of those infected die.
The areas where it has so far been found include Conakry, Guinea’s capital, with two million inhabitants, and heavily populated parts of the country’s borderlands with Liberia and Sierra Leone.
The epidemic was “unprecedented” and “of a magnitude never before seen” in terms of its spread across Guinea and its neighbours, said Mariano Lugli, project coordinator for Medecins Sans Frontieres in Conakry.
