Is Ebola Only Deadly To The Poorest
Is Ebola only deadly to the poorest?
The whole world is at edge knowing that Ebola is a very lethal virus and it is very tough to treat and cure an infected person. But it has been seen that in countries were level of development is higher and health care is easily reached this disease can be fought.
So far, every case of an American infected has ended happily, most recently Dallas nurse Amber Vinson the second patient to contract Ebola in the US has been discharged from Emory Hospital, Ebola-free.
Cases of Patients being cured in America have become almost predictable. All of the Ebola patients treated in the United States have so far survived. These exceed outcomes in Africa, where approximately 70 percent of patients die.
The virus doesn’t change when it arrives somewhere else but its medical setting does.
It is true that the average West African has a lower life expectancy than the average American. And a much smaller number of Americans have so far contracted, and been treated for, Ebola. But those who have ,have shown remarkably good results. "Yes, it’s a small sample size," says Dr. Ashish Jha, director of the Harvard Global Health Institute, adding that there are still "enough data points to say there's something meaningfully different."
Until this year, Ebola was treated in rural and remote areas of some of the poorest countries on earth (LEDCS). Through this epidemic, doctors are learning the quicker diagnoses, ready access to life-sustaining tools and drugs, and good infection-control practices the easier it is to cure someone that has been infected.
An infected person’s vital organs shut down one by one because they become overcome by the fight against the virus. In this way people with Ebola usually die from multi-system organ failure.
When this happens, patients get other infections and complications. Their blood pressure drops to dangerously low levels, they become dehydrated and malnourished, their kidneys no longer purify their blood so
