We performed Ebola virus disease diagnosis and viral load estimation for Ebola cases in Sierra Leone during the late stage of the 2014-2015 outbreak (January-March 2015) and analyzed antibody and cytokine levels and the viral genome sequences. Ebola virus disease was confirmed in 86 of 1001 (9.7%) patients, with an overall case fatality rate of 46.8%. Fatal cases exhibited significantly higher levels of viral loads, cytokines, and chemokines at late stages of infection versus early stage compared with survivors. The viruses converged in a new clade within sublineage 3.2.4, which had a significantly lower case fatality rate.
在2014 - 2015年疫情后期(2015年1月至3月),我们对塞拉利昂的埃博拉病例进行了埃博拉病毒病诊断和病毒载量估计,并分析了抗体、细胞因子水平及病毒基因组序列。1001名患者中有86例(9.7%)确诊为埃博拉病毒病,总体病死率为46.8%。与幸存者相比,死亡病例在感染后期的病毒载量、细胞因子和趋化因子水平显著高于早期。这些病毒聚集在3.2.4亚谱系内的一个新分支中,该分支的病死率显著较低。
