CDS CF combined protocol

Definition of diseases treated with combined CF protocol

Virus Chikungunya

Also known as chikungunya epidemic arthritis, this disease is caused by the bite of a mosquito, the same one that usually spreads Dengue.

Symptoms of Chikungunya Virus

• High fever
• Joint pains.
• Inflammation in spine, feet and hands.

The pains are more intense when you get up in the mornings and with the gentle movement improve, often skin lesions with red spots, headache and muscle pain can appear.

There is currently no medicine for the disease, so only the symptoms can be treated.

Living near stagnant waters where mosquitoes proliferate increases the risk of these diseases.

Ebola virus

t has an unknown origin although there are theories that indicate that the contagion can come from handling infected corpses of monkeys, antelopes, bats, gorillas or antelopes.

From person to person it is spread through bodily fluids, but also by contact in open wounds, or by mucous membranes such as eyes, nose or mouth.

The first outbreak was detected in a village near the Ebola River in congo in 1976 and hence its name.

Symptoms of the Ebola Virus

• weakness
• dehydration
• diarrhoea
• Abdominal pain
• Joint pain
• fever
• Severe headache
• Sore throat
• Bruises
• Eye irritation
• nausea
• bleeding
• Vomiting

As there is no specific treatment, medications are used to relieve symptoms, the person who overcomes the Ebola virus is immune to the strain..

Experimental vaccines against the disease currently exist.
