Since 1976, all epidemiological studies about
Ebola Hemorrhagic Fever reported case fatality rate of up to 90%.
According to the last report of WHO (1 August 2014) the case fatality rate is of 55-60% (Total number of cases 1603 – Deaths 887). It is clear that nonspecific treatment with oral rehydration with solutions containing electrolytes or intravenous fluids reduced the case fatality rate.
Could we save lives simply by using oral rehydration with solution containing electrolytes?
Is this the best treatment to avoid hepatic and/or renal failures?
