Summary

This study highlighted the possibility, even in epidemic settings, of providing advanced supportive care for patients with VMEs. Indeed, while the prospect of offering any invasive medical care was widely discussed in 2014 in West Africa with the aim of limiting the exposure of caregivers, the epidemic of 2018-2019 has on the contrary seen the development of a number of medical care strategies, in parallel with the deployment of specific treatments. This study aims to describe a cohort of patients receiving this upgraded supportive care during the tenth epidemic in the DRC.
