Ebola in Macedonia

Ebola seems to have reached Macedonia. A British man has died in Macedonia of suspected Ebola, Macedonian officials have said.

A second Briton had also shown symptoms of the virus, the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to the news agency Reuters.

The man died at the clinic of Infectious Disease in Skopje, the capital of Macedonia. The doctors, according to the symptoms exhibited when the patient was admitted, believe he had Ebola, Macedonian station Alfa TV reported.

When admitted to the hospital, the patient was unable to communicate, shortly after he had passed away.

Ebola has yet to be confirmed by tests, however doctors agree his symptoms were nearly identical to other Ebola cases in the US and Spain.

If confirmed it would be the first death of a UK national from Ebola, although British nurse Will Pooley was cured of the deadly virus last month.
