Ebola virus disease, Marburg disease, and Lassa fever are viral hemorrhagic fevers with similar clinical manifestations. Given the recent expanding movement of people around the world, persons infected with any of these hemorrhagic fever viruses might develop symp- toms in Japan. Clinicians should be aware of the latest situation once viral hemorrhagic fever is reported from any country. Obtaining travel history is crucial in suspecting viral hemorrha- gic fever when an acute febrile patient visits a medical facility. Secure implementation of standard precautions would limit further nosocomial transmission even before diagnosis. In order to investigate promptly a suspected case, medical facilities and health authorities should collaborate closely and effectively to break the transmission chain as soon as possi- ble.
埃博拉病毒病、马尔堡病和拉沙热是具有相似临床表现的病毒性出血热。鉴于近期全球人员流动不断增加，感染这些出血热病毒中的任何一种的人都可能在日本出现症状。一旦有任何国家报告病毒性出血热，临床医生应了解最新情况。当急性发热患者前往医疗机构就诊时，了解其旅行史对于怀疑病毒性出血热至关重要。即使在诊断之前，切实执行标准预防措施也将限制进一步的医院内传播。为了迅速调查疑似病例，医疗机构和卫生当局应密切有效地合作，尽快打破传播链。
