Background:

  • Viral haemorrhagic fevers (VHFs) are a group of illnesses caused by viruses, often presenting with bleeding and shock.
  • Four VHFs—Lassa, Ebola, Marburg, and Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fevers—are highly communicable between humans and endemic in Africa/Eastern Europe.
  • These specific VHFs necessitate isolation protocols due to high transmissibility.
