Recent Advances in the Understanding and Management of Marburg Virus Disease: A Review of Current Research, Emerging Therapeutic Strategies -A Case Report

Marburg Virus Disease (MVD), a rare yet highly fatal viral hemorrhagic fever caused by the Marburg virus (MARV), remains a significant public health concern due to its high mortality rate and potential for outbreaks. While MVD has been recognized for decades, recent research advancements have provided new insights into its pathogenesis, diagnosis, and therapeutic interventions. This article reviews the latest research on MARV, including viral mechanisms, diagnostic tools, epidemiology, and the progress made in developing vaccines and treatments. In addition, we present a case report of a patient diagnosed with MVD, emphasizing clinical presentation, diagnostic challenges, management, and nursing care. Despite the challenges posed by MARV, recent strides in medical research offer hope for more effective management and eventual control of this deadly disease.13
