Abstract
In The Lancet Infectious Diseases, Justus Nsio and colleagues1 publish a retrospective analysis of more than 24 000 patients with possible Ebola virus disease conducted during the epidemic in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (from 2018–20).2 Study results suggest that in an early symptomatic phase (ie, days 0–2), epidemiological links such as history of contact with an individual known to have Ebola virus disease, funeral attendance, or health facility consultations in the previous days were better predictors for disease positivity than clinical parameters.
