Overview

On September 20, 2022, the Ministry of Health of Uganda officially declared an outbreak of Ebola virus disease (EVD) caused by Sudan virus (species Sudan ebolavirus) in Uganda. This is the fifth outbreak of EVD caused by Sudan virus in Uganda since 2000. No suspected, probable, or confirmed EVD cases related to this outbreak have yet been reported in the United States. During this COCA Call, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) subject matter experts will discuss the importance for clinicians to obtain a detailed travel history from patients with suspected EVD, especially those that have been in affected areas of Uganda. Early consideration of EVD in the differential diagnosis is important for providing appropriate and prompt patient care, diagnostics, and to prevent the spread of infection. Healthcare providers should be alert for and evaluate any patients suspected of having EVD, particularly among people who have recently traveled to affected areas in Uganda.
