Title: Ebola or Not? Evaluating the Ill Traveler From Ebola-Affected Countries in West Africa Document date: 2016_1_18
ID: z1gw338y_19
Snippet: A key challenge of evaluating ill persons with possible EVD results from the many other infectious diseases, and noninfectious conditions that are more likely in travelers returning from Ebola-affected areas, particularly when the epidemiologic risk of EVD is low [8, 9] . When evaluating a PUI, other diagnoses should always be considered while maintaining appropriate infection prevention precautions [14] [15] [16] . However, because coinfections .....
Document: A key challenge of evaluating ill persons with possible EVD results from the many other infectious diseases, and noninfectious conditions that are more likely in travelers returning from Ebola-affected areas, particularly when the epidemiologic risk of EVD is low [8, 9] . When evaluating a PUI, other diagnoses should always be considered while maintaining appropriate infection prevention precautions [14] [15] [16] . However, because coinfections with Ebola virus and other infections are possible [19] , it should be emphasized that confirmation of a non-Ebola diagnosis does not effectively rule out EVD, and patients must be monitored closely to ensure clinical improvement before they can be determined to be free of EVD. Determination of the appropriate level of infection control precautions and personal protective precautions (PPE) for hospitalized patients were individualized based on epidemiologic risk, clinical picture, preliminary test results, and after discussion with the hospital infection prevention team and public health authorities.
