Hello everyone, this is a case study question where the person, the patient is having the fever, headache, muscle pain, weakness and fatigue.
00:22
The patient has traveled outside of the us and he discloses that he has recently returned from a trip to west africa.
00:33
After 10 days returning from the trip, the family got ill.
00:40
So what microbe do you suspect? this is the first question.
00:43
The microbe that we suspect could be ebola virus.
00:49
This is because this virus is endemic to some parts of africa, including west africa.
01:06
And this can cause the symptoms of the headache, muscle pain, weakness and fatigue and stomach pain that is shown by the patient.
01:14
The next is about the treatment.
01:16
What treatment should be taken for the ebola virus? there is no specific antiviral treatment.
01:26
One should take supportive care, should drink plenty of water and take rest...
