Diagnosis
.
Diagnosing Ebola in an person who has been infected for only a few days is
difficult, because the early symptoms, such as fever, are nonspecific to
Ebola infection and are seen often in patients with more commonly
occurring diseases, such as malaria and typhoid fever.
.
However, if a person has the early symptoms of Ebola and has had contact
with the blood or body fluids of a person sick with Ebola, contact with
objects that have been contaminated with the blood or body fluids of a
person sick with Ebola, or contact with infected animals, they should be
isolated and public health professionals notified. Samples from the
patient can then be collected and tested to confirm infection.

Treatment of Ebola
.
No FDA-approved vaccine or medicine (e.g., antiviral drug) is available
for Ebola.
.
Symptoms of Ebola are treated as they appear. The following basic
interventions, when used early, can significantly improve the chances of
survival:
Providing intravenous fluids (IV)and balancing electrolytes (body salts)
Maintaining oxygen status and blood pressure
Treating other infections if they occur
.
Experimental vaccines and treatments for Ebola are under development, but
they have not yet been fully tested for safety or effectiveness.
.
Recovery from Ebola depends on good supportive care and the patients
immune response. People who recover from Ebola infection develop
antibodies that last for at least 10 years, possibly longer. It isn't
known if people who recover are immune for life or if they can become
infected with a different species of Ebola. Some people who have recovered
from Ebola have developed long-term complications, such as joint and
vision problems.
