The recent report on "Knowledge regarding Ebola Hemorrhagic Fever among private dental practitioners" is very interesting. [1] Gupta et al., concluded that "dental practitioners from urban areas with higher qualification had better knowledge yet there were notable deficiencies regarding the virus characteristics, diagnostics, elimination and treatment. [1]" It is apparently that the knowledge is important determinant for the practice. How to promote the knowledge in the outbreak period is the topic for further discussion. As recently noted, the lack of information is common and this is the big problem and risk for the practitioner in the outbreak area towards the deadly Ebola virus infection. [2]
