Ebola: If you have been in West African countries where ebola has been endemic or if you have been exposed to an active case within the past three weeks, you should be tested for Ebola. Otherwise other types of infectious,invasive colitis may be present and with these severe symptoms, you should go to the hospital emergency room and get examined; appropriate tests and stool cultures will be ordered. ?Iv'

EbolaIsNotACoughdrop: No, but you probably need to see a doctor anyways. It's the high fever. Most diarrhea has no or a low grade fever, not "high" (I assume you mean over 101F). Plus the non-stop part could lead to other problems if you aren't replacing those lost fluids properly. Finally, if you are living somewhere in West Africa, get over to one of those Ebola stations pronto and keep your secretions to yourself.

See MD ASAP: If you don't live in an area of the current epidemic, no, you do not have Ebola. But diarrhea and fever may be equally life threatening even if due to other causes. Drink bountiful fluids (e.g. Gatorade) and see physician ASAP.
