Ebola outbreak: Person with possible Ebola symptoms hospitalized in Texas - CBS News

FRISCO, Texas -- Emergency responders in suburban Dallas say a patient "exhibiting signs and symptoms" of Ebola claims to have had contact with the man diagnosed with the disease in Dallas. But the person did not have contact with Thomas Eric Duncan, the Ebola patient who died today in a Dallas hospital, a spokesman for CareNow told CBS News.


Texas Health Presbyterian Dallas confirmed that a patient was admitted "after reporting possible exposure to the Ebola virus."


The Frisco, Texas patient has been identified as a Dallas County deputy, who was not one of the 48 people being monitored by federal, state and local health officials because he never had direct contact with the patient, CBSDFW.com reports.



The Dallas County Sheriff's office released a statement Wednesday, saying "the deputy expressed concern and we directed that deputy to the Dallas County Health & Human Services for care. We now wait for further information as medical staff attends to the deputy."

No contact ... waiting to see what the diagnosis is.

Earlier, CBS reported that one of the school children who had contact with Thomas Duncan has tested positive for the virus, but the story is no longer available.
