    Viral Hemorrhagic Fevers (VHF) are a group of diseases caused by several distinct families of viruses. The term “viral hemorrhagic fever” refers to a condition that affects many organ systems of the body, damages the overall cardiovascular system, and reduces the body’s ability to function on its own. Specific VHFs, such as Ebola virus disease (EVD) and Marburg virus disease (MVD) are rare, but serious, viral diseases that often cause fevers, headaches, diarrhea, vomiting, stomach pain, weakness, muscle pain, and unexplained bleeding or bruising. Some VHFs cause relatively mild illness, while others can cause severe, life threatening disease. Most VHFs have no known cure or vaccine.
