Type: article
Abstract: Background: Viral Hemorrhagic Fevers (VHF) are a group of infectious and life-threatening diseases that are vector-borne and zoonotic. This narrative review aims to highlight and reinforce the knowledge of VHFs to Radiographers and other healthcare professionals. An extensive literature search was conducted from 1969-2024, using the Google search engine, MEDLINE, PUBMED, EMBASE, POPLINE and Scopus for original, systematic reviews and grey literature on VHFs in English language, and Boolean operators like “AND” and “OR”, and keywords like, Viral Hemorrhagic Fever, Hemorrhagic Fever, Filoviridae, Arenaviridae, Bunyaviridae, and Flaviviridae. The search was extended by scrutinizing the selected articles' reference lists to ensure that much relevant literature was extracted on the subject. The literature synthesis is presented in a flow chart and emerging themes are summarized and discussed.
