Nutritional management in Ebola haemorrhagic fever

چکیده
Ebola haemorrhagic fever is a viral infection causing a major health problem worldwide. The rate of survival after infection is quite few. Therefore, the body’s immune system of one who get infection can potentially help prevent or reduce the likelihood of death from viral infections. Nutrition is an important concern in the patients who get the infection by the virus. This should be a population scale consideration. In a country that experienced problems of food security, the controlling infection is usually a big problem. It seems that limited access to food, the more serious and difficult situation usually exists. Therefore, the problems associated with malnutrition and malnutrition (both macronutrients and micronutrients) have to be mentioned. In such mentioned conditions, the problem can affect the immune system, which result in the impaired of patients’ body. Therefore, taking care of the nutrition is something important and should not be ignored in patients with infection. Good management means controlling the risk of severe infection and promoting the complete immune system. Poor nutrition can have effect on mortality rate. In the patients with malnutrition problems, the poor outcome associated with high morbidity and mortality is the important point that the health care workers should take into consideration[1].
