Ebola Reaches Dallas

Ebola is in America: Dallas man is diagnosed with disease AFTER return from Africa in first case found on U.S. soil. Now in isolation but he MAY have infected others




An isolated patient inside Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas is sick with Ebola, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said

CDC Director Tom Frieden said the patient traveled from Liberia to the United States earlier this month and was visiting his family 

The man was reportedly given antibiotics before he was critically ill and admitted two days later 

The misdiagnosis is reportedly being investigated

Frieden said there was no risk to anyone on the airplane because the patient had no symptoms at the time of the flight

It is the first Ebola case diagnosed in the United States 

The hospital said in a statement Monday night that the patient's symptoms and travel history suggested the patient has the deadly virus

The Ebola virus has killed more than 3,000 people across West Africa
