... not encouraging, another healthcare worker in Dallas now has Ebola.
For people with Ebola, treatment involves providing relief of symptoms while the body fights the infection. This is known as supportive care. Intravenous fluids, antibiotics, and oxygen are usually employed. Treatment may also include the use of medications to control fever, help the blood clot, and maintain blood pressure. Even with such supportive care, death occurs in 50 to 90 percent of cases.
