Abstract:
We describe the first 2 patients admitted to the Monrovia Medical Unit, a facility established to treat Liberian and international response workers with suspected or known Ebola virus disease (EVD). Their recoveries illustrate the value of local point-of-care diagnostics, parenteral therapies, and electrolyte replacement in EVD supportive care.
