New Ebola case in Mali
Print Edition
MALI has recorded a new case of Ebola in the capital Bamako after the friend of a nurse who died of the hemorrhagic fever earlier this month tested positive for the disease, the health ministry said yesterday.
The nurse contracted the disease after treating an imam from Guinea, who died after being incorrectly diagnosed with kidney problems. This allowed Ebola to spread to five other people in the nation’s second outbreak.
“Of two suspected cases tested, one was negative and the other positive. The latter was placed in an isolation center,” the ministry said, adding that 310 other cases are being monitored.
A total of 5,459 people have died in the worst Ebola outbreak on record, the World Health Organization said. All but 15 were in Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia. Of the six previously known cases in Mali, all have died, the WHO said.
