Three months after returning home from West Africa, a 50-year-old man begins experiencing a fever, cough, and muscle aches. The EMT should suspect:

Ebola
hepatitis
influenza
whooping cough

The correct answer is: Ebola

Ebola is a highly contagious virus that is common in West Africa. Three months after returning home from that region, a person may begin to experience symptoms such as fever, cough, and muscle aches. The other options, including hepatitis, influenza, and whooping cough, may also cause similar symptoms, but are not typically associated with travel to West Africa. Therefore, the EMT should suspect Ebola as the most likely cause for this individual's symptoms.
