“Meticulous” implementation of infection control and clinical biosafety practices enable healthcare staff to treat patients infected with Ebola virus disease and Lassa fever, according to an article on the Healio website.
A study conducted in the Serious Communicable Diseases Unit at Emory University sought an objective measure that showed that caregivers were not exposed during our care of patients with Ebola and Lassa fever.
Four patients with Ebola virus disease and one patient with Lassa fever were treated in the Serious Communicable Diseases Unit at Emory University Hospital between 2014 and 2016.
Stringent infection control and clinical biosafety practices were employed to stop nosocomial transmission of Ebola virus or Lassa fever to healthcare personnel.
