Abstract:
The current outbreak of Marburg haemorrhagic fever (MHF) in Angola is the largest recorded to date. The article provides an overview of MHF, including historical and clinical aspects, and summarises the status of the present outbreak. Until now, the main components of the public health response in Angola have been effective diagnosis and isolation of patients and contacts, and implementation of hygiene procedures by health workers at local health facilities. Involvement of the local community still constitutes the main challenge for successful control of MHF in Angola.
