Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know what's going on, I've been having high fever that won't go down. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said it was a viral infection. What kind of infectious disease did I get? Is the survival rate for hemorrhagic fever patients high?Doctor's answer:
Viral diseases are acute hemorrhagic infectious diseases caused by filoviruses. They are primarily spread through a patient's blood and excrement. Typical symptoms include swelling and fever, extreme fatigue, muscle pain, headache, and sore throat. Subsequently, symptoms such as dry heaving, nausea and vomiting, rash, and damage to kidney and liver function may reappear. In some patients, internal and external bleeding may also occur. The survival rate for this disease is generally extremely low. It is important to maintain good hygiene, change underwear frequently, lead a clean lifestyle, and avoid donating blood for free at non-regulated hospitals to effectively prevent this condition.
