Marburg viral disease (MVD) was first identified in Germany and Serbia in 1967. This very lethal illness, which belongs to the same viral family as Ebola, produces severe hemorrhagic fever and has fatality rates that range from 24% to 88%.
The virus is carried by fruit bats and subsequently spreads to people through contaminated objects or bodily fluids. Family members and healthcare workers are more likely to get the illness.
From fever, nausea, and rash to jaundice and drastic weight loss, MVD symptoms can range widely. While the virus has no known vaccinations or therapies, managing the patient’s blood and oxygen levels or rehydrating them can assist with the symptoms and increase the likelihood of survival.
