  abstract = {{E}bolavirus and {M}arburgvirus, two filoviruses belonging to the {F}iloviridae family, are among the most virulent pathogens for humans and non-human primates, causing outbreaks of fulminant hemorrhagic fever ({HF}) in {C}entral {A}frican countries with case fatality rates of up to 90%. {F}ruit bats are the likely reservoir, and human infection occurs through contact with bats or infected large-animal carcasses or by person-to-person contact (through body fluids, medical care, and burial practices). {S}chematically, clinical manifestations occur in three successive phases and include general, gastrointestinal, and mucocutaneous disorders. {D}eath usually results from hemorrhagic complications. {C}utaneous manifestations rarely make a major contribution to disease severity but can assist with the diagnosis. {R}ash, the main cutaneous disorder, is nonspecific and cannot guide the differential diagnosis. {I}mmunohistochemical examination of skin biopsy or necropsy specimens can confirm the diagnosis.},
