Abstract
At present EVD epidemic, which claimed the lives of more than 10000 people, is still underway in West Africa Countries. Promptness and quality of laboratory diagnostics, alongside with delivered anti-epidemic measures predetermine efficacy of Ebola response operation. Due to a lack of means for the specific prophylaxis and treatment of the disease, asymptomatic patients are discharged from hospitals, based on criteria recommended by WHO, which might be insufficient. Viral RNA is detected in different clinical samples taken from the patients even at the advanced stages of convalescence, which requires essential investigation of peculiarities of Ebola persistence in various biological fluids. The article contains the data on the studies of biological samples, obtained from a female patient diagnosed with Ebola virus disease, applying various methods and techniques.
