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
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
Doctors say risk of infection is low without bodily fluid exchange
