| Abstract: | The ongoing Ebola outbreak that began in Guinea in February 2014 has spread to Liberia, Sierra Leone, Nigeria, Senegal, Spain, and the United States and has become the largest Ebola outbreak in recorded history. It is important for frontline medical providers to understand key aspects of Ebola virus disease (EVD) to quickly recognize an imported case, provide appropriate medical care, and prevent transmission. Furthermore, an understanding of the clinical presentation, clinical course, transmission, and prevention of EVD can help reduce anxiety about the disease and allow health care providers to calmly and confidently provide medical care to patients suspected of having EVD. |
