There wasn't one - that was the problem! Only the symptoms could be treated, and from there one had to hope for the best. Those who survived had antibodies that I believe could be used to help vaccinate others (I think - not 100% sure of that though). There were also several strains of Ebola, making vaccination and treatment more difficult again.

At present there is no known cure, though scientists are working on it. The only thing that can be done for an Ebola patient is to administer fluid through IV to prevent dehydration, and plasma heparin into the patient's bloodstream to prevent blood clotting and prevent the onset of shock. The patient is kept in isolation and protocols are followed to prevent this highly infectious disease spreading. More information: http://www.wrongdiagnosis.com/e/ebola/treatments.htm

Right now, there is no cure for Ebola. Ebola is a pretty nasty fever...if i were to rate Ebola on a scale of 1-10, 10 being the worst, I'd give Ebola a hefty 9.5 Ebola is a member of the filovirus family, a relativley new one, that consists of only ebola and marburg. There are four different types of ebola so far. Ebola-Sudan, Ebola-Ivory Coast, Ebola-Zaire, and Ebola-Reston. Ebola Reston has not caused any severity in humans, but it is extremley fatal in primates. What ebola does (i think) is that it makes you hemmorhge, you get a rash, you become dehydrated, i have even heard that it turns your organs into mush, and as we all know, we need organs. But despite my lengthy answer to your simple question, there is still much to learn about Ebola.
