The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) is providing updated information for California healthcare providers regarding the evaluation and management of patients suspected of having Ebola virus disease (EVD). To date, there have been no cases of EVD related to this outbreak reported in the United States or any other country outside of Uganda.
As early EVD symptoms are non-specific, healthcare providers should ask all patients presenting with acute, possibly infectious illness, about recent travel history.
Contact Public Health immediately if a patient is identified who is concerning for Ebola.
