The 2017 Uganda Marburg virus outbreak was confirmed by the World Health Organization (WHO) on 20 October 2017 after there had been an initial fatality due to the virus.[1]
The Ugandan Ministry of Health indicated that an individual had died of the virus on 19 October; the following day, 20 October, WHO released a press statement regarding the matter. The eastern part of the country is the affected area where the cases have occurred.[2][3] On 22 October, it was reported that 55 individuals were under surveillance for the virus.[4] On 25 October, the number of individuals rose to 155 in terms of contact tracing[5]
Virology and epidemiology
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Marburg virus was first recognised in 1967.[6] In terms of diagnosis the presentation is similar to malaria or typhoid fever and therefore not easy to identify (diagnose).[7]
The Marburg virus is considered a filovirus, which is the same as the Ebola virus in terms of viral classification.[8] According to Mehedi, et al. macrophages, monocytes, and dendritic cells, are what the virus attacks due to their importance in the human bodies normal mechanism[9]
According to the World Health Organization there is currently no treatment for the disease.[10] As of 11 November 2017, according to the Ministry of Health no new cases have been reported to this point[11] the report originates from Kampala.
On 8 December the World Health Organization declared the end to the outbreak in the country of Uganda due to two 21-day quarantine periods[12]
