The Maisonneuve-Rosemont Hospital
Maisonneuve-Rosemont Hospital in Montreal placed a patient in isolation
to conduct tests and make sure it did not contract Ebola, said the
facility in a release Saturday.
The patient, who has symptoms of a fever, stayed in one of Africa's
western regions, where the disease wreaked havoc in recent months. "The authorities consider that it is very probable that it is a case of Ebola since the patient did not have all the criteria of infection, but want to eliminate any doubt as to a possible infection" may reads the statement.
This is not the first possible case of Ebola infection to be supported by the Canadian health authorities since the beginning of the crisis in the West Africa. Tests conducted there two weeks on a patient quarantined in Brampton, Ontario, in the end were negative.
The latest report of the World Health Organization indicates that the epidemic has killed 1,427 in West Africa so far. https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&js=y&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fici.radio-canada.ca%2Fregions%2FMontreal%2F2014%2F08%2F23%2F001-cas-possible-ebola-maisonneuve-rosemont.shtml&edit-text=
