Medical Therapy
There is no specific treatment, cure, or vaccine for Bourbon virus infection. Early diagnosis, hospitalization, and supportive therapy are fundamentals of treatment.
Supportive therapy
- ICU management should include careful assessment, monitoring and adjustment of volume status and cardiac function, including inotropic and vasopressor support if needed.
- Fluids should be administered carefully due to the potential for capillary leakage.
- Supplemental oxygen should be administered if patients become hypoxic.
- Equipment and materials for intubation and mechanical ventilation should be readily available since onset of respiratory failure may be precipitous.
