Viral Hemorrhagic Fevers
Viral hemorrhagic fevers are illnesses characterized by fever and bleeding disorders caused by a group of viruses that can affect both humans and animals. These viruses, which belong to the family of viruses known as Flaviviridae, can cause a range of symptoms from mild flu-like symptoms to severe bleeding, organ failure and even death. Early diagnosis and early treatment are important for reducing the risk of severe outcomes. Viral hemorrhagic fevers are important to public health, as the viruses can be spread from person to person, or from animal to person. Treatment may involve providing supportive care and in some cases, antiviral drugs.
