For the past six weeks, we had been having discussion concerning this Ebola virus epidemic. And I wants to take this time to thank all the forums, the people who has been asking questions and all the people who are liking my posts. I really appreciate you guys a lot. And I also do appreciate all of the people who are participating in their own little ways to help with this epidemic of Ebola virus. This epidemic is a collective fight that we all have to do, to put an end to this Ebola virus outbreak. So for this week, I would like for us to discuss the way Ebola virus is diagnose. According the World Health Organization these are some of the ways that it can be detected from patients with Ebola virus. Ebola virus 106 Diagnosis Because Ebola virus have signs and symptoms of other diseases(virus or bacteria) we have to rule some of these diseases out. Diseases included: malaria, typhoid fever, shigellosis, cholera, leptospirosis, plague, rickettsiosis, relapsing fever, meningitis, hepatitis and other viral haemorrhagic fevers. Ebola virus infections can be diagnosed definitively in a laboratory through several types of tests: antibody-capture enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) antigen detection tests serum neutralization test reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay electron microscopy virus isolation by cell culture. Samples from patients are an extreme biohazard risk; testing should be conducted under maximum biological containment conditions. Again I am stressing the fact: EARLY DETECTION IS THE BEST WAY TO STOP THE OUTBREAK OF THIS EBOLA VIRUS. It can save your life! All Hands on Deck! #TeamEbolaVirusCureAllDay
