Ebola produces severe hemorrhagic fever with high mortality rates. It spreads chiefly by close contact infectious fluids from those infected. It originates African regions, during outbreaks typically rural settings. Key outbreaks were 2014-2016 West African outbreak, affecting Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone. Another outbreak was in 2020 the DRC. Symptoms usually emerge within 2-21 days after exposure, with high fever, nausea/vomiting, diarrhea, and stomach pain. Current treatments use supportive care, such as IV fluids alongside complication management, and also trials and vaccines.
