Ebola: Africa CDC says Nigerian patient was born in Uganda

Africa CDC Director-General Jean Kaseya has urged the woman diagnosed with Ebola Bundibugyo in Nigeria to disclose her full travel history to help identify where she was infected. Born in Uganda, she travelled there with her husband before they returned to Abuja on October 3; investigators are examining whether the infection was acquired in Uganda, the DRC or elsewhere. Nigeria confirmed its first case on October 20, and the patient, a diplomat treated at a private hospital in the Federal Capital Territory, had developed multi-organ failure. Ugandan officials dispute a link to an outbreak in their country, saying she travelled to eastern DRC and became ill only after reaching Nigeria.
