Abstract

The article discusses a study on how Ebola virus disease (EVD) affects male and female persons in West Africa. The study investigated the sex-related differences in incubation period, time from symptom onset to hospitalization, and case fatality rate. It found that female patients had higher survival rate than male patients. According to the authors, the findings suggest that awareness of sex-specific differences might benefit public health measures to reduce community-based transmission.
