VHF & Ezra Sanders

[Ezra Sanders]

Ezra Sanders

the ymptoms

currently he's showing:-

• fatigue
• dizziness
• loss of strength
• bleeding from orifices {mouth, ears, eyes, fingernails and anus}
• bloody vomit

the [D]iagnosis so far

Due to his short time here in the hospital, so far only a few tests have been done upon Ezra. One of which was the bleed time test, timing how long it takes his blood to clot. The doctors had to stem the flow themselves and thereby he was diagnosed with a bleeding disorder and nothing more was thought of it. Until he started bleeding more profusely from his orifices and began getting muscular aches over every inch of his body.

More tests are being booked in for him to undergo over the next twenty-four hours, the past diagnosis rejected in order to find out what's really wrong with him.

Ezra's [C]ondition

Viral Hemorrhagic Fever

Specific signs and symptoms vary by the type of VHF, but initial signs and symptoms often include;;

• fever
• fatigue
• dizziness
• muscle aches
• loss of strength
• exhaustion

Patients with severe cases of VHF often show;;

• bleeding under the skin
• bleeding in internal organs
• bleeding from body orifices

However, although they may bleed from many sites around the body, patients rarely die because of blood loss.
Untreated patient cases may also show;;

• shock
• nervous system malfunction
• coma
• delirium
• seizures
• sometimes even renal failure.

Unfortunately there is no cure to VHF
But it is treatable

It's usually found in rodents in Africa but there have been rare cases of the disease being carried over by ticks from these mammals on animals that have been tranported to the country.

Ezra caught the disease from one of the horses at the farm in which he works at. He removed and squashed an infected tick from one of the equine mammals which was how he caught it. This was three weeks back, he's only started showing severe symptoms now.
