La maladie à virus Ebola (MVE) est une maladie multisystémique potentiellement mortelle qui entraîne souvent une hypovolémie, une acidose métabolique, une hypoglycémie et une défaillance multi-viscérale. L'épidémie prolongée de MVE en Afrique de... l'Ouest en 2013-2016 a permis une évolution dans le domaine des soins telle qu'à la fin de l'épidémie, de nombreux patients ont pu recevoir des soins de support individualisés et optimisés, dont la réanimation hydro-électrolytique, le contrôle des symptômes, la surveillance biologique en laboratoire et au chevet de la glycémie et des électrolytes, la prise en charge des défaillances d’organe, ainsi que la détection et le traitement rapides des co-infections, contribuant ainsi à une réduction de la mortalité.
Toutefois, le niveau des soins varie considérablement d'un centre de traitement Ebola (CTE) à l'autre, au cours de la même épidémie, ainsi que d’une épidémie à l’autre

Clinical management standard operating procedures.
Ebola virus disease (EVD) is a life-threatening multisystem illness associated with fever and gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms that frequently leads to hypovolaemia, metabolic acidosis, hypoglycaemia, and multi-organ failure. The prolonged 2013–201...6 EVD outbreak in West Africa allowed for an evolution of care such that by outbreak end many patients received individualized and optimized supportive care (oSoC), including volume resuscitation, symptom control, laboratory and bedside monitoring of glucose, electrolyte levels and organ dysfunction, as well as rapid detection and treatment of co-infections, potentially contributing to the downward trend in the case fatality rate (CFR).
This guidance should serve as a foundation for oSoC that should be followed to ensure both the best possible chance for survival and allow for reliable comparison of investigational therapeutic interventions as part of a randomized controlled trial. This guideline provides recommendations for the management of adults and children.

This report summarizes the latest scientific knowledge on the links between exposure to air pollution and adverse health effects in children. It is intended to inform and motivate individual and collective action by health care professionals to prevent damage to children’s health from exposure to ...air pollution. Air pollution is a major environmental health threat. Exposure to fine particles in both the ambient environment and in the household causes about seven million premature deaths each year. Ambient air pollution (AAP) alone imposes enormous costs on the global economy, amounting to more than US$ 5 trillion in total welfare losses in 2013.
