Content: only supportive therapy and experimental treatment is available. There are many complications from Ebola hemorrhagic fever, causing a high mortality rate (reported mortality rates range from 25%-100% with a reported average rate of 40%-50%). Prevention of Ebola hemorrhagic fever is difficult; early testing and isolation of the patient plus barrier protection (protective equipment) for caregivers (mask, gown, goggles, and gloves) is very important to prevent other people from being infected. Researchers are trying to understand the Ebola virus and pinpoint its ecological reservoirs to deduce how Ebola outbreaks occur. Researchers are actively trying to establish an effective vaccine against Ebola viruses with some success. Ebola Symptoms & Signs
