Well, it says it isn't fatal if treated quickly. So... what are they treating this with? They must have a decent idea of what it is.

Without having any info on that, standard procedure in such an unknown would liky consist of IV fluids, fever-reduction protocols if necessary, and anti-biotics.

The antibiotics could clear it up if it's bacterial, and the IV fluids / fever control give the body time to fight the infection if viral. If that's the case, they're broad-brush treating it, until they figure out what it is.

Ebola, being viral, is treated with fluids and fever control. The body, if strong enough, treats itself, given time thanks to fluids and temp reduction.

The sudan virus is most deffenity yellow fever. Its classed as unknown as they most likely havent had it 100% confrimed by blood work.

The Nigeria one is intresting but could just be a dozen things already known.

What worring is that SARS is floating about.

In the "All Africa" article linked on the first page - the article mentions viral hepatitis as well. Maybe a combo of both??? Both can hit the liver hard.

I have no idea about how diseases work.

Just a thought maybe both diseases contaminated a water supply????

Just a shot in the dark....

Yellow fever in the last stages attacks the liver causing the yellow colour change of the skin and eyes. It it also can cause almost any other symptom. It spread through mosiquos and from the fulids of the infected. Its mortalirt can range from 20-50% which again seems to fit.

Im pretty sure the sudan outbreak is yellow fever.

Let's hope it remains contained to the area ... unless it's already too late and the condition has 'flown' so to speak.

I wouldnt worry. Even if its not traditional yellow fever im 99% sure it will be related so it would be very easy to create a vaccine (if the original dont work).

This is comeing from a microbiologist.

Africa is the next Oster the wolrd plans to shuck.....
China, is heavily involved there as are many other world powers.
My belief is they are depopulating the continent with war and diseases....making it ripe for taking over eventually...
I look for far more diseases and wars on that continent in the forseeable future.
What may backfire is the weapons they use to kill off the black people with disease may just end up infecting he rest of the world too.

Theres no conspiracy here. Its just plain old yellow fever that been in Africa before the word conspiracy existed.

Really? Then why is it being investigated as separate than yellow fever?

The witness said that Saraf Omra hospital is overloaded with patients with malaria, yellow fever, and the new disease.

New diseases like this scare me..I do hope it is contained.

My guess it is a new strain. New strains of virus pop up all the time and until it been properly examined it standard procedure to call it "unknown".

All the symptoms, the area and the morality rate suggest yellow fever, what makes this strain diffrent I cant say as it does not give much info. Seeing as theres hasnt been much of a fuss I am guessing the diffrence must be slight, eg the yellow fever diagnotsic kits are not picking it up ect

Ahh I know why its being treated as "diffrent" it cause diarrhea is not a common sysmptom of yellow fever but this new virus diarrhea seems to be a prevealnet symptom. Still as I said probably a new strain of yellow fever where diarrhea more common thats all. Hardly a extreme mutation or a virus that affects the digestive system anyway.

It may be marburg fever but that unlikely as the mortality rate it to low, that and WHO would of locked the area down at just the whiff of marburg.




Also for those crying bioweapon . It would be pretty useless as it incapasites those who get it to quicky plus symptoms are too obvious which means infected individuals would be isolated quickly.

Was Big Pharma over there prior to this event? Africa seems to be a target area for testing drugs and whatever else on these people.
