How is Ebola treated?

Ebola is treated primarily with supportive care, including fluids, electrolytes, and medications to stabilize blood pressure and manage complications. Early treatment greatly improves survival. For infections caused by the Zaire strain of Ebola virus, targeted antibody therapies such as Inmazeb and Ebanga can help reduce mortality. Patients are also isolated during treatment to prevent transmission.
