The incubation period of Ebola haemorrhagic fever varies from two days to four weeks. Symptoms are variable too, but the onset is usually sudden and characterised by high fever, prostration, myalgia, arthralgia, abdominal pains and headache. These symptoms progress to vomiting, diarrhea, oropharyngeal lesions, conjunctivitis, organ damage (notably the kidney and liver) by co-localized necrosis, proteinuria, and bleeding both internal and external, commonly through the gastrointestinal tract. Death or recovery to convalescence occurs within six to ten days.

If you experience any of these symptoms do not assume it is due to Ebola hemorrhagic fever. These symptoms may be caused by other, less serious health conditions. If you experience any one of them, see your physician.
