Ebola : New York Records First Ebola
Case As Doctor Tests Positive For Ebola
A 33-year old New York Doctor who recently
returned from Ebola-hit Guinea in West Africa has
tested positive for the disease.
Dr Craig Spencer, treated Ebola patients while
working for the charity Medecins Sans Frontieres
(MSF) in the country. He left Guinea on 14 October, and returned to New York City on 17 October.
But on Tuesday he began to feel tired and developed
a fever and diarrhoea on Thursday.
Suspecting it could be the virus, he immediately
contacted medical services and was taken to the
city's Bellevue Hospital, where he is being kept in isolation.
He is the first Ebola case diagnosed in New York,
and the fourth in the US.
