According to research conducted by WHO, fever and fatigue are the most common symptoms of confirmed and probable male Ebola patients in selected African Countries

The latest research by the World Health Organization (WHO) on October 17th of this year provides an analysis of the most common medical ailments that accompany confirmed and likely male Ebola patients in the African countries of Guinea, Liberia, Nigeria, and Sierra Leone. The research was conducted through surveillance of suspected cases of Ebola, which included reference to previously established diagnostic standards by WHO in various districts of these countries. A graph of the most common symptoms for these particular Ebola patients is shown below:

One can conclude from this research that the most prevalent symptom of Ebola is fever (abnormal elevation of body temperature), which was present in 1002 individuals out of the 1151 confirmed or probable male Ebola patients (87.1%). The second most common symptom associated with Ebola is fatigue, which affected 866 individuals out of 1133 patients (76.4%).

This information is paramount for future research, as it offers a comparison between the current Ebola epidemic and previous outbreaks, which can elucidate the factors that have contributed to the current outbreak of the virus.
