About
This webpage describes Marburg virus disease (MVD), a rare but severe illness similar to Ebola. Symptoms include fever, headache, and rash, with death often occurring 8-9 days after symptoms start. The disease was first found in 1967 in Germany and Serbia. Outbreaks have occurred in Africa and cases have been reported among travelers from these regions. It spreads through contact with infected body fluids or contaminated objects. Hospitals should be prepared for such diseases, using resources like NETEC's guidance tools to improve readiness and response efforts against MVD outbreaks worldwide.
