Ebola Virus Disease with Bacterial Co-Infection in Children and Adolescents — Mild Disease

This protocol applies to Ebola virus disease in patients who are children older than 4 weeks or adolescents, where a concurrent bacterial co-infection is present and overall disease severity is mild.

Child > 4 weeks / Adolescent Bacterial Co-Infection Mild Disease

Bacterial co-infection complicates the management of Ebola virus disease and requires targeted antibiotic treatment. Patient age — specifically children older than 4 weeks and adolescents — is a key determinant of the treatment selection in this scenario.


Management of the bacterial co-infection in this context involves an oral antibiotic regimen. The full protocol specifies the agent, dosing schedule, and course length — details available via the structured protocol below.
