Marburg Hemorrhagic Fever
Marburg Hemorrhagic Fever is a rare and severe disease caused by a virus of the same name. The virus is similar to the Ebola virus, and is spread mainly through contact with infected animals and humans, or through contact with their bodily fluids. Symptoms of the disease include fever, severe headache, muscle pain, and chills. In some cases, there may be bleeding from the nose, mouth, eyes, and other body orifices. Treatment of the illness is mainly supportive, and requires prompt medical care. The Marburg virus has not been widely studied, but it is important for public health, as infection can be fatal, particularly in outbreak situations.
