Ebola alarm in Brussels hospital

  An employee of MSF is in quarantine because it is possibly infected with the Ebola virus. The man was part of a team that fights Ebola in West Africa.

The Belgian returned a few weeks ago returned from a West African country where he worked in a team that deals with Ebola patients. Yesterday afternoon, he suddenly became unwell and he had a fever. Because he had just returned from a risk he was brought to the Brussels St. Peter's Hospital. It is absolutely not certain whether he is actually infected.

"The fever can be a symptom of malaria," it sounds in the FPS. é "But because this man was indeed in contact with Ebola patients, it poses a greater risk., he is now being investigated. If the fever disappears quickly, there is nothing to worry about. Did he say tomorrow (today, ed.) fever, then a blood sample sent to the lab and will prove whether he has actually Ebola. "
