Marburg virus

Marburg virus, which is current spreading through Angola, is nearly identical to the Ebola virus, though it produces a different antibody in infected organisms. Its symptoms are:
  1. fever / headache / muscle pain
  2. maculopapular rash ( spots or bumps )
  3. vomiting / chest / abdominal pain and diarrhoea
  4. jaundice, delirium, liver failure, and extensive haemorrhage
Marburg is another virus that has jumped from animals to humans.

Best wishes,
Steve
