	INFECTIOUS DISEASES - Marburg Haemorrhagic Fever
		Marburg haemorrhagic fever is a rare, severe type of haemorrhagic fever which affects both humans and non-human primates.
		Marburg virus was first recognised in 1967, when outbreaks of haemorrhagic fever occurred simultaneously in laboratories in Marburg and Frankfurt, Germany and in Belgrade, Yugoslavia (now Serbia).
		Recovery from Marburg haemorrhagic fever may be prolonged and accompanied by orchititis, recurrent hepatitis, transverse myelitis or uvetis.

	Marburg virus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Marburg virus is the causative agent of Marburg hemorrhagic fever.
		Because many of the signs and symptoms of Marburg hemorrhagic fever are similar to those of other infectious diseases, such as malaria or typhoid, diagnosis of the disease can be difficult, especially if only a single case is involved.
		On March 22, 2005, as the death toll neared 100, the cause of the illness was identified as the Marburg virus.
