New Incurable, Highly Infectious Form of “Ebola” Discovered


The World Health Organization (WHO) is warning of a deadly new incurable disease similar to Ebola.

A DEADLY outbreak of a rare and highly fatal virus has broken out in eastern Uganda and five cases have already been identified, the World Health Organization (WHO) has confirmed.

The disease, known as Marburg virus disease (MVD), is similar to Ebola and can be lethal in up to 90 per cent of cases.

The reports given surrounding the first man found to be suffering from MVD is frightening.

A man in his 30s, who worked as a game hunter and lived near a cave with a heavy presence of bats, was admitted to a local health centre with a high fever, vomiting and diarrhea.

He did not respond to antimalarial treatment and his condition rapidly deteriorated.

He was quickly taken to another hospital in the neighbouring district, but died shortly after arriving.

His sister, in her 50s, died shortly afterwards and a third victim passed away in the treatment unit of a local health center.

Here is what you need to know now about this epidemic.

The WHO website reads: “Marburg virus disease is a rare disease with a high mortality rate for which there is no specific treatment.

“The virus is transmitted by direct contact with the blood, body fluids and tissues of infected persons or wild animals (e.g. monkeys and fruit bats).”

Several hundred people are believed to have been exposed to the virus, which is among the most virulent pathogens known to infect humans.

Early symptoms include fever, chills, headache, and myalgia.

This news comes as nearby regions are already suffering from fatal outbreaks of the bubonic plague, more commonly known as the “black death”.

One has to wonder how much money these big money pharmaceutical companies would stand to make from such epidemics if they were to start spreading rapidly.
