Factores de riesgo epidemiológico a considerar al evaluar a una persona con exposición al virus del Ébola.

The following epidemiologic risk factors should be considered when evaluating a person for Ebola virus disease (Ebola), classifying contacts, or considering public health actions such as monitoring and movement restrictions based on exposure.

Alto riesgo incluye cualquiera de las siguientes:
- Percutaneous (e.g., needle stick) or mucous membrane exposure to blood or body fluids of a person with Ebola while the person was symptomatic,
- Exposure to the blood or body fluids (including but not limited to feces, saliva, sweat, urine, vomit, and semen) of a person with Ebola while the person was symptomatic without appropriate equipos de protección personal (EPP),
- Processing blood or body fluids of a person with Ebola while the person was symptomatic without appropriate PPE or standard biosafety precautions,
- Direct contact with a dead body without appropriate PPE in a país con transmisión generalizada del virus del Ébola,
- Haber vivido en un hogar cercano y haber brindado atención directa a una persona con enfermedad del Ébola mientras la persona era sintomática
Riesgo real incluye cualquiera de las siguientes:
- En países con transmisión generalizada del virus del Ébola: direct contact while using appropriate PPE with a person with Ebola while the person was symptomatic
- Close contact in households, health care facilities, or community settings with a person with Ebola while the person was symptomatic
  - Close contact is defined as being for a prolonged period of time while not wearing appropriate PPE within approximately 3 feet (1 meter) of a person with Ebola while the person was symptomatic
Riesgo bajo (que no cero) incluye cualquiera de las siguientes:
- Haber estado en un país con transmisión generalizada del virus del Ébola en los últimos 21 días sin haber estado expuesto aparentemente
- Having brief direct contact (e.g., shaking hands) while not wearing appropriate PPE, with a person with Ebola while the person was in the early stage of disease
- Proximidad breve, como estar en la misma habitación por un período de tiempo breve, con una persona con la enfermedad del Ébola mientras la persona presentaba síntomas
- In countries without widespread Ebola virus transmission: direct contact while using appropriate PPE with a person with Ebola while the person was symptomatic
- Traveled on an aircraft with a person with Ebola while the person was symptomatic.
Riesgo no identificable incluye:
- Contacto con una persona asintomática que ha tenido contacto con una persona con la enfermedad del Ébola
- Contacto con una persona con la enfermedad del Ébola antes de que esta desarrollara síntomas
- Having been more than 21 days previously in a país con transmisión generalizada del virus del Ébola
- Having been in a country without widespread Ebola virus transmission and not having any other exposures as defined above
