China's National Health Commission and State Administration of Traditional
Chinese Medicine published the 2026 edition of Ebola diagnosis and treatment
guidelines. Ebola virus disease (formerly Ebola hemorrhagic fever) is a highly
pathogenic, high-fatality acute infectious disease transmitted mainly by direct
contact with blood, bodily fluids, secretions, excretions of patients or
corpses, infected animals, or contaminated objects. Clinical presentation
includes sudden fever, extreme fatigue, headache, myalgia, frequent vomiting and
severe diarrhea; bleeding and multi-organ failure can occur. Average case
fatality ~50 pct; some strains up to 90 pct. Disease is primarily endemic in
sub-Saharan Africa; China reports no local or imported cases.
