The seven-month-old baby who was being investigated for
suspected Ebola infection in Kwara State has died, Weekly
Trust learnt yesterday.
The baby girl reportedly followed her mother from Ibadan to Ilorin when she fell ill and was admitted at Surulere Clinic
where she was treated for malaria for three days.
Following the deterioration of her condition, the child was
referred to a private hospital where a pediatrician
discovered symptoms of malaria and made a report to the
ministry of health.
It is recalled that the chairman of the state Ebola committee
and senior special assistant to Governor Abdulfatah Ahmed
on primary health, Prof. Sunday Opabola, told newsmen on
Thursday that blood samples of the baby and her mother
were sent to Lagos for test.
Opabola, who is a professor of public health, had urged the
public not to panic, saying the test was being done in order
not to take chances because of the Ebola outbreak in the
country.
Speaking with Weekly Trust yesterday, senior special
assistant to the governor on secondary health and a
member of the Ebola committee, Dr. Ibrahim Gambari,
confirmed the death of the baby, but added that she was not likely to have died of Ebola.
The test of the result in Lagos is being expected on Monday, while the child’s mother remains at an isolation centre,
according to the governor’s aide.
