A patient being treated at a Dallas, Texas, hospital is the first person diagnosed with Ebola virus in the United States, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced Tuesday. Several other Americans were diagnosed in West Africa and then brought to the United States for treatment.
The person who first tested positive for Ebola in the United States is a patient at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas, hospital spokesman Stephen O'Brien said Tuesday. The adult patient developed symptoms days after returning to Texas from West Africa, and was admitted into isolation on Sunday, according to the Texas Department of State Health Services. The CDC is expected to provide more details on the case in a press conference tomorrow.
