Ebola: Clinical Evaluation, Treatment, and Infection Control for Clinicians and Healthcare Staff

Описание: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has been working closely with the Democratic Republic of the Congo’s (DRC) Ministry of Public Health to respond to the country’s 16th Ebola virus disease (EVD) outbreak, which was declared on September 4, 2025. As of October 7, 2025, there are 64 people with confirmed or probable Ebola, which includes 43 deaths. CDC will update the numbers as the outbreak continues. While the risk of imported Ebola cases in the United States is currently low, knowing how to correctly identify, test and treat suspect Ebola patients is critical to your safety and that of your peers.

During this presentation, panelistsl provide an overview of EVD and the current Ebola outbreak in DRC. They discuss patient management, infection prevention and control and provide an overview of the National Emerging Special Pathogens Training and Education Center (NETEC) and its role in providing training, education, and coordination regarding the specialized clinical care for Ebola patients in the United States.
