Ophthalmic consequences of viral hemorrhagic fevers: Insights from the clinic and laboratory

نویسندگان

چکیده

Viral hemorrhagic fevers (VHFs) are a diverse group of RNA virus-mediated systemic diseases with significant morbidity and mortality represent public health concern. Given the high in number these entities, delays diagnosis can lead to downstream consequences. Many viral have ophthalmic manifestations ophthalmologists thus play key role disease recognition management ocular complications associated specific fevers. This review summarizes consequences fevers, pathogenesis, findings, areas unmet research need.

Viral hemorrhagic fevers: advancing the level of treatment

The management of viral hemorrhagic fevers (VHFs) has mainly focused on strict infection control measures, while standard clinical interventions that are provided to patients with other life-threatening conditions are rarely offered to patients with VHFs. Despite its complexity, a proper clinical case management of VHFs is neither futile nor is it lacking in scientific rationale. Given that pat...

The Role of Platelets in Viral Hemorrhagic Fevers

Arenaviridae, Bunyaviridae, Filoviridae and Flaviviridae are all RNA viruses that can induce a coagulopathy in infected patients. While there is a paucity of information on the cause of this coagulopathy, these viruses all produce a severe thrombocytopenia. Here, we review the literature on viral hemorrhagic fever and discuss the role played by platelets in the coagulopathy. We also discuss the...
