Viral hemorrhagic fevers are diseases caused by viruses which belong to different
families, many of them causing severe diseases. These viruses may produce
different symptomatology together with a severe multisystem syndrome, and the
final result might be the production of hemorrhages in several sites of the body.
The majority of them have no other treatment than supportive therapy, although
some antiviral drugs can be used in some circumstances. Transmission of VHF has
been demonstrated through contact with animal vectors or person-to-person through
the contact with body fluids. No risk of transmission has been found during the
incubation period, but when the viral load is high the risk of transmission is
greatest. Both health care and clinical laboratory workers must safely handle
patients and specimens by taking all required precautions during their
management.
