10 Marburg Virus Symptoms
10. Bleeding
As mentioned, the Marburg virus causes people to bleed, and not only internally. Patients can also bleed externally and it is not uncommon for blood to stream from the eyes of patients. This is because the membranes here are particularly thin, meaning they are among the first to start leaking.
As the condition gets worse and the patient gets closer to death, patients will also often start bleeding from their rectum, nose, and ears. The blood of a Marburg patient is highly contagious and it is essential that medical personnel, and anybody else that might come into contact with it, take all precautions.
