A 5-year-old boy who returned
home from Guinea Saturday is being tested for Ebola at New York City’s
Bellevue Hospital, officials said today. Preliminary results will be
available within the next 12 hours.
The boy was transported to
Bellevue Hospital Sunday night because of his travel history and initial
reports that he had a fever, but he actually had no symptoms when he
first arrived at the hospital, officials said.
He developed a fever this morning, prompting the Ebola test, officials told ABC News.
The boy is in isolation, but is not under quarantine, the city’s health department said.
Meanwhile, Dr. Craig Spencer,
who tested positive for Ebola Thursday, is in an isolation unit at the
Manhattan hospital. After Spencer's diagnosis, his fiancee remains under
quarantine, along with two friends. None has shown symptoms of the
virus.
Spencer has gastrointestinal
symptoms, which health officials said were "anticipated." He was
described as awake and communicating.
He became the fourth person to
be diagnosed with Ebola in the United States after he was hospitalized
Thursday. He developed a fever that morning and alerted authorities, who
transported the doctor from his Harlem apartment in a specially
designated ambulance.SOURCE: YAHOO
