Angola:
Marburg haemorrhagic fever
Marburg
haemorrhagic fever is an acute febrile illness
accompanied by severe haemorrhagic manifestations. The
disease has an incubation period of 3 to 9 days. In the
earliest stage of infection, symptoms are non-specific
and may be easily confused with more common diseases,
including malaria, yellow fever, and typhoid fever. A
severe watery diarrhoea, abdominal pain, nausea and
vomiting are early symptoms, as are severe chest and
lung pains, sore throat, and cough. A high proportion of
cases develop severe haemorrhagic manifestations between
days 5 and 7, most frequently affecting the
gastrointestinal tract and the lungs. A characteristic
rash usually appears at this time, sometimes involving
the whole body. |
