Viralhemorrhagic fever Marburgis an infectious disease with various mechanisms of transmission of the pathogen.
The Marburg virus was first discovered in 1967 after simultaneous outbreaks in the German city of Marburg and in Belgrade.
The virus that causes Marburg fever is spread by:
contact with a person with symptoms that do not exclude Marburg fever;
contact with blood, secretions, or other biological fluids of persons who have symptoms of this disease, as well as contact with bed linen, clothing, personal hygiene items and other surfaces contaminated with biological fluids, including when providing medical care to patients with Marburg fever during medical procedures, caring for them, as well as when conducting laboratory testing of biological material infected with the causative agent of Marburg fever;
travel to countries where cases of Marburg fever have been reported in recent years (Rwanda (2024), Kenya, Uganda, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Angola, Zimbabwe);
contact with dead or live Egyptian fruit bats (fruit-eating bats), which are endemic species, consumption of products or prepared meals obtained from such animals, as well as fruits, berries, vegetables, and greens contaminated with their waste products.
The incubation periodranges from 2 to 21 days.
The disease begins suddenly and is accompanied by a sharp increase in body temperature, severe headache and severe malaise. Muscle pain is a common symptom. Acute watery diarrhea, abdominal pain and cramps, nausea and vomiting, internal and external bleeding, rash, and yellowing of the skin may develop. Severe hemorrhagic symptoms and bleeding, often multiple, are a common symptom in fatal cases.
On September 30, 2024, the World Health Organization reported a threat of a Marburg fever epidemic. The outbreak began in Rwanda, with 46 cases registered in 7 districts of the country as of October 7, 2024, and 12 people killed by the virus. Most cases (more than 70%) were detected in healthcare workers in the capital Kigali. About 300 people who had contact with the sick remain under medical supervision.The World Health Organization assesses the risk of a Marburg fever outbreak as very high at the national level, high at the regional level, and low at the global level.
