Laboratory diagnosis of Viral Hemorrhagic Fevers
Original language description
Viral hemorrhagic fevers (VHFs) are caused by wide and various groups of viral pathogens. They belong to four viral families: Filoviridae, Arenaviridae, Flaviviridae, and Bunyaviridae. Although they all belong to RNA viruses, many biological differencescan be found between each representative. Rapid diagnosis is of high importance, especially for the initiation of adequate treatment of the infected persons, as well as the establishment of necessary epidemiological countermeasures. However, the development or routine usage of laboratory techniques for the diagnosis of VHF pathogens is complicated mostly because work with the causative agents of VHFs is limited to facilities with the highest biosafety level, BSL 4. In this chapter, we summarize the available ways for detection and identification of known VHF causative agents. The chapter is divided into four sections. The first section is focused on non-laboratory diagnosis; i.e., clinical and especially epidemiological data, which are
