The patient who presented to The Mount Sinai Hospital on Monday, August  4, with a high fever and gastrointestinal symptoms has tested negative for the Ebola Virus Disease (EVD), according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta. The patient, who had been kept in isolation since his arrival, is stable and will likely continue care as an outpatient.
 
 
 
We would like to thank all staff at The Mount Sinai Hospital who responded with the highest levels of professionalism, efficiency, and compassion in dealing with this incident. The Mount Sinai Health System continues to monitor such incidents, and remains prepared in the event that additional patients with similar symptoms and travel histories present to any of our practices or hospitals. Other medical institutions are expected to do the same.
 
 
 
We will continue to keep you updated.

Alles im Griff?Morgen früh werde ich das Ergbnis lesen.... und als erstes die Börsenkurse betrachten...

update: In einem New Yorker Krankenhaus steht unterdessen ein Mann unter Beobachtung, der ähnliche Symptome wie bei Ebola aufweist. Zwar glaube er nicht, dass sich der Verdacht bestätigen werde, dennoch stehe der Mann unter strikter Quarantäne, sagte der Leiter der Notaufnahme im Mount Sinai Hospital, David Reich. Der der Patient sei kürzlich in eines der betroffenen westafrikanischen Länder gereist. Das Ergebnis seines Tests werde in spätestens drei Tagen erwartet.

update: noch ist alles offen, ausser Vermutungen, keine Fakten bisher. Negative Tests sind bisher NICHT vorzeigbar."Dr. Jeremy Boal says he hopes for a definitive answer in the next day or two."

[A] patient at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City was being tested after being admitted to the facility with a high fever and gastrointestinal symptoms, according to a statement from the hospital on Monday [4 Aug 2014]. He had recently traveled to a country in West Africa where Ebola virus disease [EVD] has been reported. The patient was placed in strict isolation, and doctors are working to determine the cause of his symptoms.

"(The) likelihood is pretty low" the patient has EVD, said CNN's Dr. Sanjay Gupta. About half a dozen people have recently returned from West Africa and gotten tested because of symptoms consistent with the disease. None of those cases has been confirmed as Ebola, Gupta said.
