    Tuberculosis prophylaxis for individuals exposed to active TB uses antibiotic prophylaxis. Viral and bacterial pneumonia have differing assessment findings. Viral pneumonia is characterized by low-grade fever, non-productive cough, normal to low WBC count, and minimal chest x-ray changes. Bacterial pneumonia presents with high fever, productive cough, high WBC count, and obvious chest x-ray infiltrates. Antibiotics and antimalarials recommended for Ebola virus disease include ertapenem sodium injection, ceftriaxone sodium, amoxicillin/clavulanic acid, atovaquone/proguanil, artemether/lumefantrine, and

    ✔ Fever: low-grade

    ✔ Cough: non-productive

    ✔ WBC count: normal to low elevation

    ✔ Chest X-ray: minimal changes evident

    ✔ Clinical course: less severe than pneumonia of bacterial origin

    2. Bacterial

    ✔ Fever: high

    ✔ Cough: productive

    ✔ WBC count: high elevation

    ✔ Chest X-ray: obvious infiltrates

    ✔ Clinical course: more severe than pneumonia of viral origin
