Hello

Hemorrhagic Fevers | overview for community education and prevention Eight suspected cases of hemorrhagic fever have been reported in Jinka town, Ethiopia. The exact virus is still under laboratory investigation, but health authorities have intensified surveillance, contact tracing, and community awareness to prevent further spread. As prevention is paramount, I took time to compile a detailed overview for community education and prevention in the affected area and beyond. 🧾 Definition •  Viral Hemorrhagic Fevers (VHFs) are a group of severe illnesses caused by several families of viruses. These infections are multi-systemic, disrupting vascular integrity, immune responses, and the function of vital organs. Clinically, they are marked by high fever, a tendency to bleed due to vascular and coagulation abnormalities, and progressive multi-organ dysfunction, often leading to life-threatening complications1,2. 🩺 Clinical Presentation •  Early symptoms: sudden fever, fatigue, muscle aches, headache, sore throat. •  Progressive symptoms: abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhea, rash. •  Severe signs: bleeding (nose, gums, gastrointestinal), low blood pressure, shock, organ failure. •  Note: Bleeding is not always present, but vascular damage is a hallmark1. 🔬 Diagnosis •  Clinical suspicion: based on symptoms, outbreak context, and exposure history. •  Laboratory tests (confirmation): o  PCR for viral RNA o  ELISA for viral antigens/antibodies o  Blood counts (low platelets, leukopenia) o  Liver and kidney function tests •  Differential diagnosis: always do not forget the common problems in the setting including malaria, typhoid, sepsis, dengue1. 🧪 Investigations •  Complete blood count: may show thrombocytopenia, leukopenia. •  Coagulation profile: prolonged clotting times. •  Biochemistry: elevated liver enzymes, renal impairment. •  Imaging: rarely needed, but may show organ involvement. 💊 Case Management: •  Supportive: as no universal cure; treatment is mainly supportive: o  Fluid and electrolyte replacement o  Oxygen therapy o  Blood transfusion if severe bleeding o  Treat secondary infections with antibiotics •  Specific antivirals: yet to be advised from the Ministry. •  Isolation and infection control: strict barrier nursing, PPE for health workers. 📈 Prognosis (outcome) •  Depends on the virus type: hence need early identification! o  Ebola/Marburg: high fatality (25–90%) o  Lassa fever: ~1% overall, higher in hospitalized cases o  Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever: 10–40% •  Early supportive care improves survival. 🛡 Prevention Mechanisms •  At community-level: o  Report suspected cases immediately. o  Avoid contact with sick individuals or dead animals. o  Practice hand hygiene and safe burial practices. •  At health system level: o  Rapid response teams, contact tracing, quarantine. o  PPE for healthcare workers. o  Vector control (rodents, ticks, mosquitoes depending on virus). •  Public awareness creation: o  Educate on symptoms and when to seek care. o  Avoid bushmeat and unsafe animal handling. o  Safe food and water practices. ✅ Key takeaway for Jinka community: Hemorrhagic fevers are serious but preventable. Early recognition, immediate medical care, strict infection control, and community cooperation are essential to stop spread.

💥Inbox To EHPM Leaders I want to begin by expressing my sincere appreciation for your presence and leadership. It means a great deal to us health professionals to know that someone is listening that we have a voice and a platform to share our concerns. Yesterday, a meeting was held between one of the hospitals under the Addis Ababa Health Bureau and representatives from Betoch Limat. During this meeting, we were informed that a group has already been formed for those who are able to pay the 25% prepayment required to participate in a housing project. This prepayment ranges from 500,000 to 1 million ETB, which is an enormous sum for most of us. When we asked what options exist for those who cannot afford this prepayment, the response was simply: "We don’t know." That statement vague and dismissive left many of us feeling excluded, unheard, and deeply discouraged. Let me be clear: the majority of health professionals earn around 10,000 ETB per month. At that income level, saving half a million birr let alone a million is virtually impossible. We are the backbone of the healthcare system, working tirelessly under immense pressure, often without adequate support or recognition. And yet, when it comes to basic needs like housing, we are being told there is no plan for us. This is not just a financial issue it’s a matter of dignity, equity, and respect. How can a system that relies on our labor and commitment fail to include us in its development plans? How can we be expected to serve the public faithfully while our own basic needs are ignored? Please share this message widely. Let it reach decision-makers, the media, and the public. We deserve answers. We deserve solutions. And above all, we deserve to be part of the future we are helping to build. Thanks. Dr. T
