Journal Title: Indian Journal of Anesthesia and Analgesia - Year 2019, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
Aim: Containment of a dangerous and fatal disease outbreak and measures to control in present and future. Design: Retrospective observational Study. Material and Methods: A team of researchers studied the demographic characteristics of international passengers, to India during Public health emergency of International concern declared on 8 August 2014 for Ebola Virus disease. A person with history of fever, bleeding from any site, stomach pain, diarrhea, vomiting, headache, joint pain, muscular pain, bleeding from any site and rashes should report to tertiary care center. In our study, we observed person under investigation for Ebola virus disease under integrated disease surveillance program for forty-two days. If the contacts had any clinical symptoms, they were supposed to inform immediately [1]. The tertiary care facility was responsible for treatment and management of suspected patients suffering from Ebola virus disease. Sample collection for confirmation of Ebola disease was responsibility of Airport Authority of India. One passenger was quarantined for 165 days at the airport authority of India, as he was Ebola treated patient. His semen sample tested positive for Ebola virus [2]. Statistical Analysis: Collected data was analyzed and the categorical variables were presented in number and percentage. Qualitative variable was compared using Chi-Square test. Results: Satisfactory containment of Ebola virus disease during Public health emergency of International concern. Conclusion and Recommendation: To design intensive care facilities for future control and spread of Ebola Virus disease.
