Infection control for viral haemorrhagic fevers in the African health care setting. This manual describes a system for using viral haemorrhagic fever (VHF) isolation precautions to reduce the risk of transmission of VHF in the health care setting. It is intended primarily for health officers who implement infection control in the health care setting, and can be used as a rapid reference when one or two cases of a VHF appear in a health facility and no previous preparations for VHF isolation precautions have been done. The information can also be used to set up an isolation area quickly and make adaptations from local materials so that an effective system of infection control can be implemented as soon as possible. |

Guidelines for Treatment of Dengue Fever or Dengue Haemorrhagic Fever in Small Hospitals. This guidelines is developed in 1999 by WHO, in consultation with the leading experts in the field of clinical management of DHF. These
guidelines will be a proper tool for physicians working in small hospitals to conduct appropriate treatment of patients with DF/DHF, and would help in achieving our common target to reduce case fatality rate of DHF to less than one per cent in all endemic countries. |
