2014年3月，世界卫生组织接到几内亚森林地区爆发埃博拉病毒病的通知。在接下来的8个月里，这场疫情已经成为历史上最具破坏性的埃博拉疫情，有21,296人感染，8,429人死亡。最近，埃博拉病毒从受感染的旅行者进入包括美国在内的非邻近国家，突显了所有医疗保健提供者做好准备的重要性。及早识别和快速隔离疑似感染埃博拉病毒的患者，对限制该病毒传播至关重要。此外，加强对埃博拉病例定义、临床表现、治疗和感染控制战略的了解，将提高医疗保健提供者安全护理埃博拉病毒患者的能力。
In March 2014 the World Health Organization was notified of an outbreak of Ebola virus disease (EVD) in the forest region of Guinea. Over the subsequent 8 months, this outbreak has become the most devastating Ebola epidemic in history with 21,296 infections and 8,429 deaths. The recent introduction of Ebola into noncontiguous countries including the United States from infected travelers highlights the importance of preparedness of all healthcare providers. Early identification and rapid isolation of patients suspected of being infected with Ebola virus is critical to limiting the spread of this virus. Additionally, enhanced understanding of Ebola case definitions, clinical presentation, treatment and infection control strategies will improve the ability of healthcare providers to safe care for patients with Ebola virus disease.
