U.S. citizen in Ghana tests negative for Ebola

Reuters 5 hrs ago

ACCRA (Reuters) - A U.S. citizen suspected of having Ebola because he fell ill after visiting West African states battling the disease has tested negative, a senior Ministry of Health official told Reuters on Monday.

The man, who has not being named, is in quarantine at Nyaho clinic in Accra and the blood tests were conducted at Noguchi Memorial Institute of Medical Research in the city.

"It is negative," Badu Sarkodie, head of disease surveillance at the Ghana Health Service, told Reuters, adding that further tests would be conducted.

Health officials have called for regional action to halt the world's deadliest outbreak of the disease, which has spread across Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone, killing at least 467 people since February.

The highly contagious Ebola virus causes fever, vomiting, bleeding and diarrhoea and kills up to 90 percent of those it infects. It is transmitted through contact with blood or other fluids.

A previous suspected Ebola case in Ghana also tested negative in April.

I stand corrected. Or something to that effect.

Ebola update: Immigration Service, Ports Authority start screening at entry points

http://www.myjoyonline.com/news/2014/July-8th/ebola-update-immigration-service-ports-authorities-start-screening-at-entry-points.php


"

A US citizen suspected to have entred the country with the virus was detained at the Nyaho Medical Centre for tests to be conducted on his blood samples. The man arrived from Guinea on Sunday and reported at the infirmary for medical attention.

The tests proved negative but he died Monday afternoon."


"Initial tests run on the American at the Noguchi Memorial Institute for Medical Research (NMIMR), according to hospital sources, was inconclusive because the officials used the wrong reagent (chemical)."
