Ebola Virus Infection |
||||||
 |
||||||
|
||||||
| The Ebola virus is highly infectious and can spread through the use of unsterilized needles or through contact with an infected individual or the corpse of someone who has died from the disease. About one week after infection, the virus begins attacking blood and liver cells (1). As the disease swiftly progresses, the virus may destroy vital organs such as the liver and kidneys (2), leading to massive internal bleeding (3). Shock and respiratory arrest soon follow, then death. | ||||||
