Man with ebola symptoms isolated in Nijmegen hospital

A man is listed with Ebola symptoms at Radboud hospital in Nijmegen.

The man, whose name and address have not been released, was admitted on Sunday; reports are that he showed the symptoms of the disease upon his return to the Netherlands from Sierra Leone. When he traveled there and when he returned is not clear.

It should be clear within a few days whether the man indeed suffers from Ebola. The hospital in Nijmegen is in the meantime treating him in a special isolation chamber. A spokesperson for the hospital insisted that visitors, employees and other patients do not run the risk of infection.

The hospital has stressed that the man is not one of the physicians from Doctors Without Borders who are being housed at Vierhouten.

It is the second Ebola scare in two months at Radboud. In September the hospital admitted a man who showed some symptoms that later turned out to be for Malaria.
