US diagnoses first case of Ebola

Washington, Oct 1 (IBNS): The United States diagnosed its first ever case of Ebola in a man who was infected in Liberia and travelled to Texas, media reports said.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the man is also the first to be diagnosed outside Africa.

The world’s largest outbreak of Ebola infected more than 6,500 people across five West African countries killing 3,091 since the start of the year, the World Health Organization (WHO) said.

The CDC said that since the man was not sick on the plane he was unlikely to have infected other passengers on board.

Dubbing the man as critically ill, CDC chief Tom Frieden said: “We are stopping this in its tracks.”
