What treating Ebola means for pandemic influenza	2018-07-16		.txt	text/plain	5824	278	43	Physicians should be prepared to undertake clinical trials of widely available generic drugs to determine whether they improve survival in patients with seasonal influenza, other emerging virus diseases, and other forms of acute critical illness. An experience during the recent Ebola outbreak in Sierra Leone (2014-2016) suggests that inexpensive generic drugs might be used to treat patients with pandemic influenza and other emerging virus diseases. Several new investigational treatments targeting the Ebola virus were tested in clinical trials in West Africa (Guinea, Liberia, Sierra Leone): antiviral agents, convalescent plasma, and monoclonal antibody preparations [3, 4] . The Ebola treatment experience in Sierra Leone suggests that generic drugs targeting the host response might be used to treat patients who develop severe illness due to pandemic influenza, other emerging virus diseases, and everyday diseases like seasonal influenza, bacterial sepsis, and community-acquired pneumonia [11] .	./cache/cord-006640-25ykas09.txt	./txt/cord-006640-25ykas09.txt
