Alert in Belgium for possible case of Ebola
Brussels, (EFE) .- An aid worker being held in quarantine in a hospital in Brussels by "real" suspected of having contracted the Ebola virus, the Belgian Ministry of Public Health reported today.
The man, an employee of the international organization Doctors Without Borders (MSF) has been in contact with Ebola patients in a country in West Africa before returning to Brussels, about two weeks ago.
"His case meets the three conditions of the high-risk category: in a country has been affected by the disease, has been in contact with the disease and has a fever," he told the Belgian press ministry spokesman, Sven Heyndrickx.
The person, whose name and age have not been revealed, has started to feel ill on Thursday night and was immediately hospitalized.
Last week a first suspicion of Ebola in Belgium was ruled out.
It was a young 13 year old Guinean whose analyzes revealed that he was ill with malaria.  https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&js=y&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.sondeo.com.mx%2Fsitio%2Findex.php%2Finternacional%2Fitem%2F4747-alerta-en-belgica-por-posible-caso-de-ebola.html&edit-text=
