7. Rash
There are numerous possible causes of a rash and most of them are quite harmless. They should not be treated with complacency, however, because they are sometimes a sign of something very serious. They can even be a sign that you have contracted the Marburg virus.
The rash associated with the Marburg virus is a maculopapular rash. This means that it consists of raised and flat skin lesions and also small red bumps. The rash is most commonly found on the back, stomach, and chest and is often very itchy. The word is a combination of “papule,” which refers to the small lumps, and “macule,” which refers to the lesions.
