Venezuelan Hemorrhagic Fever (VHF) is a severe viral disease caused by the Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus. It primarily affects humans and can lead to high fever, bleeding, and shock. The disease is transmitted through contact with infected animals, particularly rodents, and can spread from person to person in some cases. Symptoms typically appear 5 to 10 days after exposure and may include fever, headache, and abdominal pain. Early diagnosis and supportive care are crucial for improving outcomes. Preventive measures focus on controlling rodent populations and minimizing contact with potentially infected animals.
