As of Sunday evening, November 2, a patient has been
admitted to Duke University Hospital for further evaluation and testing
for potential Ebola virus infection. We expect to know the results of
this test from the N.C. Department of Health and Human Services sometime
Monday morning. Meanwhile, the patient is being cared for in the same
confined, isolated and secured space in which an actual Ebola patient
would be treated. The patient is receiving care from a seasoned team of
Duke clinical professionals who have completed extensive training to
treat such a patient. We have anticipated this possibility for several
weeks now and have a plan in place to manage this situation..
