DRC Ebola Outbreak is Under Control; Patients Discharged
All patients have been discharged from the Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) isolation center in Kampungu, Western Kasai province, in central Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), where they were being monitored for Ebola hemorrhagic fever. The patients no longer presented symptoms and were in good overall health.
Since the last confirmed Ebola patient died, on January 1, all suspected patients' samples were analyzed and tested negative. Patients who were brought into the isolation center stopped presenting symptoms after a few days and no casualties occurred. The three patients who were admitted last week were also discharged as their tests came back negative.
