Ebola est une infection grave qui provoque une fi\u00e8vre h\u00e9morragique. Elle est caus\u00e9e par le virus du m\u00eame nom, qui peut s’av\u00e9rer tr\u00e8s dangereux entra\u00eener de graves complications chez les personnes infect\u00e9es. Elle se transmet par le simple contact direct d\u2019une personne infect\u00e9e et devient contagieuse uniquement apr\u00e8s l\u2019apparition des sympt\u00f4mes. Ces sympt\u00f4mes incluent g\u00e9n\u00e9ralement fi\u00e8vre, vomissements, diarrh\u00e9es et parfois des saignements. La p\u00e9riode d\u2019incubation elle, varie de 2 \u00e0 21 jours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Il s\u2019agit de la 17\u1d49 \u00e9pid\u00e9mie d\u2019Ebola recens\u00e9e en RDC depuis la d\u00e9couverte du virus en 1976. Le pays a d\u00e9j\u00e0 connu plusieurs \u00e9pid\u00e9mies majeures,\u00a0dont celle de 2018-2020, qui avait fait pr\u00e8s de 2 300 morts. La capitale\u00a0Kinshasa\u00a0et plusieurs r\u00e9gions de l\u2019est du pays restent sous surveillance accrue, alors que les autorit\u00e9s sanitaires redoutent une propagation dans les zones frontali\u00e8res.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
