Dr. Jessica Pelletier and Noah Kronk speak with Dr. Steve Liang and Dr. Gaston Omba about the diagnostic workup, management, and prevention of ebola virus disease (EVD).

Take-Home Points:

• Patients may present in either the dry or wet phases of disease and may progress to death or recovery
• Early recognition of possible EVD cases helps protect more people from becoming infected
• IPC measures are critical to break the cycle of infection and stop outbreaks
• Care in the ED is primarily supportive
• Patients with the Zaire strain of EVD OR neonates born to mothers who test positive are eligible to receive mAb114 or REGN-EB3, where available
• Individuals exposed to the Zaire strain of EVD should receive the Ervebo vaccine
