Signs, Symptoms, and Diagnosis of Zika Virus By CDC (MUST READ)

About 1 in 5 people infected with Zika virus become ill (i.e., develop Zika).

The most common symptoms of Zika are fever, rash, joint pain, or conjunctivitis (red eyes). Other common symptoms include muscle pain and headache. The incubation period (the time from exposure to symptoms) for Zika virus disease is not known, but is likely to be a few days to a week.

ALL YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT ZIKA VIRUS BY W.H.O

The illness is usually mild with symptoms lasting for several days to a week.

Zika virus usually remains in the blood of an infected person for a few days but it can be found longer in some people.

Severe disease requiring hospitalization is uncommon.

Deaths are rare.

Diagnosis

The symptoms of Zika are similar to those of dengueand chikungunuya, diseases spread through the same mosquitoes that transmit Zika.

See your healthcare provider if you develop the symptoms described above and have visited an area where Zika is found.

If you have recently traveled, tell your healthcare provider when and where you traveled.

Your healthcare provider may order blood tests to look for Zika or other similar viruses like dengue or chikungunya.

Treatment

No vaccine or medications are available to prevent or treat Zika infections.

Treat the symptoms:

• Get plenty of rest
• Drink fluids to prevent dehydration
• Take medicines, such as acetaminophen or paracetamol, to relieve fever and pain
• Do not take aspirin and other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), like ibuprofen and naproxen. Aspirin and NSAIDs should be avoided until dengue can be ruled out to reduce the risk of hemorrhage (bleeding). If you are taking medicine for another medical condition, talk to your healthcare provider before taking additional medication.

If you have Zika, avoid mosquito bites for the first week of your illness.

During the first week of infection, Zika virus can be found in the blood and passed from an infected person to another mosquito through mosquito bites.

An infected mosquito can then spread the virus to other people.

Ebola Hits Liberia Again in Fresh Cases

Just when they they were on the brink of being declared free of the dreaded Ebola virus, Liberia on Friday, March 20, 2015 recorded a fresh case of the virus in Monrovia.

Having passed 20 days without a new case, the country was left with just about 22 days to complete the window period before being declared officially free of the virus.

The epidemic has killed over 4,000 people in Liberia since it was introduced in the country.

Liberia’s Acting Head of the Ebola Incident Management Team, Dr Francis Kateh, told the BBC that a woman who was taken into a treatment centre in Monrovia on Thursday had tested positive for the virus.

According to the doctor, the way the woman became infected with the virus is still uncertain and is giving them serious cause for concern.

They hope to quarantine people who must have come in contact with the woman in order to curb further spread of the disease in the country.

This development is coming weeks after the last known Ebola patient, Beatrice Yardolo, was discharged from a treatment centre in Monrovia.

The latest outbreak of the virus is said to be the most deadly as it has killed over 10,000 people in affected countries including Liberia, Guinea, Sierra Leone.

Nigeria which was among the countries affected by the virus after the source Patrick Sawyer stormed the country was officially declared Ebola-free by the World Health Organization following proactive measures and co-operation of the citizens and the Jonathan-led administration.
