Patient discussions
Continuation of supportive therapy includes ensuring adequate hydration and nutrition. Basic hygiene measures should be implemented to limit the spread of the organism.
Information regarding personal hygiene, food, and drinking water should be provided to all patients. Outpatients should be clearly instructed how to disinfect clothes, personal items, and their immediate environment, using boiling water or chlorine solutions and drying clothes in direct sunlight.[16]
Patients should be made aware that they should seek medical help if their symptoms are not improving or are getting worse. This may be an indication of more severe disease or complications.
