Part 1- Chapters 1- 9 Question 16

Describe the recovery period and problems from Marburg. What are some of the surprising
organs attacked?

5 comments:

  1. Marburg kills about “a quarter of the patients who are infected with it” (Preston, 1994, page 36). The virus works like “nuclear radiation” (Preston, 1994, page 38) because it damages nearly every tissue in the host’s body. During the recovery period, the victim’s skin is peeled off from their “hands, feet, and genitals” (Preston, 1994, page 38). Surprising organs attacked are the male sexual organs –genitals – and the organs of visions –the eyes. The genitals are “blown up, inflamed” (Preston, 1994, page 38) and sometimes semi rotten. The virus also makes its way to the eyes and “lingers in the fluid inside the eyeballs” for a long period of time –sometimes many months. The virus can pass through sexual intercourse if the genitals are effected by the virus. The virus also behaves strangely with the brain. The patients behave “slightly aggressive or negativistic” (Preston, 1994, page 39). Some patients became flat out insane while other behaved normally with extremely sudden mood changes. One victim without warning fell low on blood pressure and passed away. The autopsy discovered “a massive fatal hemorrhage at the center of the victim’s brain” (Preston, 1994, page 39).

    1. Hi Zunera, you described the symptoms and effects of Marburg rather than the recovery. Can you elaborate a little bit about recovering from the virus?

    2. Recovery from a Marburg virus is slow –if it does not kill you. Patients usually forget all memory linked with the time of their reaction to the virus encounter. If the host recovers, the victim’s skin is peeled off from their “hands, feet, and genitals” (Preston, 1994, page 38). Organs attacked by the virus are the sexual organs, the visual organs, and the brain. The semi rotten sexual organs have peeling skin to signal recovery. The visual organs are fine, although they contain the virus in their eyes several months after recovery. The brain changes the personality of the host back to the way it was after recovery –if the person became moody, they would not be anymore.
