I am Mrs. Webb and I am a scientist/medical doctor who is informing you on a national disease control that is infective. This disease is life threatening also pandemic. This disease is called Ebola and it is affected by many people; The CDC began recording the number of outbreaks along with the number of deaths in 1976. Beginning in 1976 to 2011 there were 1,531 people who died from Ebola. The only way how this disease can be spread through is through personal contact with a partner.
This disease effects the special cells that surround and support blood vessels the same cells form the connective tissues of the liver, spleen and lymph nodes. The connective tissue cells are called fibroblastic reticular cells. They produce and unsheathe bundles of collagen. Because blood and lymph clot exposed to collagen (release of tissue) damage to the FRC cells exposes to collagen of this connective tissue and result in continuous clotting until factors that control blood clotting are depleted and the patient begins to bleed uncontrollably.
If you have Ebola you should not have contact with anyone except trained medical personnel who are aware of your condition. If you don’t have Ebola but you have been in contact with someone with Ebola you should not have contact with anyone except trained medical personnel who are aware that you might be infected if you just live in an area where someone has contracted Ebola but you have not been in contact with anyone who has Ebola you don’t need to be quarantine. There is not yet a licensed Ebola vaccine for humans; however a vaccine has been a shown to be effective in monkeys.
If this vaccine proves similarly effective in humans it may one day allows scientist to quickly contain Ebola outbreaks. The trial vaccines are similar to other investigational vaccines that hold promise for controlling such disease as aids. The Ebola virus was first associated with an outbreak of 318 cases of a hemorrhagic disease in Zaire. Of the 318 cases, 280 of them died—and died quickly. That same year, 1976, 284 people in Sudan also became infected with the virus and 156 died.
The viruses that cause Ebola and Marburg are similar, infecting both monkeys and people. The outbreaks of these diseases are often self-contained, however, because they kill their hosts so quickly that they rapidly run out of people to infect. Ebola begins with a sudden onset of an influenza-like stage characterized by general malaise, fever with chill, and chest pain. Nausea is with abdominal pain, diarrhea, and vomiting. Respiratory tract involvement is characterized by pharyngitis with sore throat, cough, and hiccups.
The central nervous system is affected by the development of severe headache, confusion, fatigue, depression, seizures, and sometimes coma. Pharyngitis is inflammation of the pharynx, causing a sore throat. The most effective way to reduce or prevent transmission in an outbreak is through the proper use of barrier protection for doctors and nurses. This includes the use of gloves and masks, with gloves being changed after every patient. Another important protection is in hospitals, is being sure all equipment is properly sterilized.
