Respiratory protection should be routine. Patients should be isolated, supportive measures should be applied, maintainance of hydration, replacement of coagulation factors and platelets. If disseminated intravascular coagulation is diagnosed, all procedures should be taken to treat this condition. Animals should be submitted to quarantine procedures to prevent movement of infection to other areas, through importation of infected animals. It seems that transfusion from convalescent patients increase surveillance rates.
Authors suggest the use of convalescent blood transfusions in the next epidemics.
