It is one of the viruses with the highest mortality rate found at present, and the highest mortality rate can reach 90%. The fatality rate of Ebola virus was 53.2% in Sudan and 88.8% in Zaire in the same year. So far, there is no vaccine to prevent it, and its terrible degree has been listed as biosafety level 4 virus by WHO. To know that AIDS and SARS are only level 3, we can see how terrible it is. The death rate may be frightening, but the method of death is even more frightening.
The death of an infected person is very ugly. Now, because there is no effective treatment for Ebola virus, many patients can only endure endless pain and despair and wait for death. Early onset of fever, headache, muscle pain and sore throat, followed by vomiting, diarrhea and liver and kidney function damage. Symptoms of internal bleeding and external bleeding will appear in the later stage.
Some patients died quickly within 48 hours, and Ebola virus proliferated and attacked multiple organs at the same time, resulting in organ degeneration, necrosis and decomposition. The patient will bleed internally, then the blood will stop at the seven orifices, and finally the necrotic tissue of the internal organs will vomit in the mouth and finally die. The ability to mutate is also very strong. Up to now, there have been four variants, Ebola Say, a virus with a mortality rate as high as 90%, which comes from its variation.
The unknown fear is indescribable. Although the experiment shows that the coagulated interferon has a certain effect, the experimental result is only one third of the survival rate. At present, the only treatment is to strengthen the patient's own immune system through drugs or other measures to deal with the virus, such as timely supplementation of platelets. However, the survival rate is still low.
