Nation Dallas hospital isolates possible Ebola patient
DALLAS — A Dallas hospital is holding a patient in "strict isolation" as that person is being evaluated for possible exposure to the deadly Ebola virus.
Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas said in a statement Monday that the patient's symptoms and recent travel indicated a case of Ebola, the virus that has killed more than 3,000 people across West Africa and infected a handful of Americans who have traveled to that region.
The hospital said it is complying with all recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Texas Department of Health to ensure the safety of other patients and medical staff.
