Swedish hospital investigating possible case of Ebola-media


						               STOCKHOLM, Aug 31 (Reuters) - A 
hospital in the Swedish capital is investigating a possible case of 
Ebola, Swedish media reported on Sunday.
               A
 man who recently travelled to a "risk area" for the virus was taken to 
Karolinska University Hospital in Stockholm suffering from a fever and 
is being treated in an isolation unit, the reports said.
               More than 1,500 people have died in an Ebola outbreak in West Africa since March.
               "The
 virus isn't airborne and can only be spread between people through 
direct contact with blood and other body fluids," daily Svenska 
Dagbladet wrote, quoting a statement by the Stockholm County Council.
               Neither
 the council nor the hospital could immediately be reached for comment.
