The current Ebola virus epidemic continues to pose a threat to the UK. Junior clinicians are often at the frontline of medical care in hospitals and their awareness of the clinical features and management of the Ebola virus disease (EVD) may significantly influence the timely implementation of infection control measures. In view of this, we carried out a cross-sectional survey of 119 junior doctors across four different hospitals in England in order to assess their level of knowledge of EVD. We demonstrate that there is currently a deficiency of knowledge about critical aspects of EVD in this population.
目前的埃博拉病毒疫情继续对英国构成威胁。初级临床医生通常处于医院医疗保健的第一线，他们对埃博拉病毒病（EVD）的临床特征和管理的认识可能会极大地影响感染控制措施的及时实施。有鉴于此，我们在英格兰的四家不同医院对 119 名初级医生进行了横断面调查，以评估他们对 EVD 的了解程度。我们证明，目前这一人群对 EVD 的一些关键方面的认识还存在不足。
