10 Marburg Virus Symptoms
9. Bruising
The Marburg virus is a type of viral hemorrhagic fever. In short, this means that it has a tendency to cause blood to leak out from the blood vessels. This is one of the more horrific of all the symptoms, and one that can lead to extremely severe problems such as organ failure.
Sometimes, this bleeding will occur internally. When this occurs near the surface of the skin, the leaked blood will be clearly visible through the surface of the skin. This will result in dark blue, purple, and/or black patches in a condition that is commonly known as bruising.
