Question: What's the difference between hemophilia and the ebola virus?
Answers:

Hemophilia is a genetic disease in which the patient has the tendency of easy bleed especially in joints because of the deficiency of one of the coagulation factors, Ebola virus in one of many viruses which cause hemorrhagic fever,characterized by fever, sore throat and severe constitutional signs and symptoms. Late in the disease patient may develop bleeding from mucous membranes and intravenous puncture sites.



Hemophilia is an X-linked recessive condition that leads to a deficiency in coagulation Factor VIII. It is treated via infusion of pooled Factor VIII. Ebola Hemorrhagic Fever is a viral disease with mortality rates as high as 90% that is caused by one of four species of Ebolavirus, Ebola Zaire, Ebola Sudan, Ebola Cote de Ivore, and Ebola Bundybigo. (The closely related Marburgvirus causes similar symptoms in the form of Marburg Hemorrhagic Fever) It causes profuse hemorrhage by critically impairing the liver's ability to produce clotting factors, and by causing the cells that line the blood vessels to loosen and form gaps, essentially making the blood vessels into leaky pipes. The virus also attacks the spleen, and causes the lining of the digestive system to be expelled along with considerable quantities of bloody diarrhea and vomit. Severe inflammation of the throat occurs, along with petechial hemorrhaging, high fever, easy bleeding, and subdermal star hemorrhages. Patients can sweat blood, and hiccuping can develop in the later stages. Headaches and backaches are usually the initial symptoms. There is no available treatment or vaccine. Thankfully, it is restricted to Africa, and has killed fewer than 1,000 people since its discovery in 1976 in a schoolteacher in Yambino Zaire.

I've done some work with the Ebolavirus



Hemophilia is like if one of your pipes had a leak and there was no plumber's epoxy to patch it with. Ebola is like if your whole septic system was corroded with acid.



night and day...one is viral,other is genetic............................googl… these and see.............
