Marburg virus

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]
