The most recent outbreak occurred in West Africa in March 2014 and quickly spread in surrounding countries. Ebola spreads through direct contact with the body fluids of an infected individual. The incubation period for Ebola is 2 to 21 days. Individuals are infectious when symptomatic. Identifying individuals at high risk for Ebola in the United States includes early recognition of symptoms and a history of travel to an Ebola-affected area. Multiple diagnostic tests exist and should include a complete blood count and a comprehensive metabolic profile. Standard, contact, and droplet precautions are advised when taking care of patients with Ebola. Appropriate personal protective equipment as recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention should be worn. No vaccine or antiviral drug has been approved, but vaccine trials are under way. Occupational health nurses play a key role in educating employees about this disease.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/2165079915607496","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,9,29]],"date-time":"2015-09-29T22:44:15Z","timestamp":1443566655000},"page":"13-16","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Ebola Update"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"64","author":[{"given":"Louise C.","family":"O\u2019Keefe","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"The University of Alabama in Huntsville"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,9,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-2165079915607496","volume-title":"Essentials of epidemiology in public health","author":"Aschengrau A.","year":"2008"},{"key":"bibr2-2165079915607496","unstructured":"California Department of Public Health.
