The 2017 Uganda Marburg virus outbreak was confirmed by the World Health Organization (WHO) on 20 October 2017 after there had been an initial fatality due to the virus.[3]
The Ugandan Ministry of Health indicated that an individual had died of the virus on 19 October; the following day, 20 October, WHO released a press statement regarding the matter. The eastern part of the country is the affected area where the cases have occurred.[1][2] On 22 October, it was reported that 55 individuals were under surveillance for the virus.[4]
Virology
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Marburg virus was first recognized in 1967.[5] In terms of diagnosis the presentation is similar to malaria or typhoid fever and therefore not easy to identify (diagnose).[6]
The Marburg virus is considered a filovirus, which is the same as the Ebola virus in terms of viral classification.[7]
