The Ektit State Government on Thursday revealed that a serving
corps member miraculously escaped death over Ebola scare at the
National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) Orientation camp in Ise Ekiti.
The state commissioner for Health, Professor Olusola Fasubaa, who
made this known to Vanguard reporter said the young man (names
withheld) who had been inadequately treated for malaria collapsed
and was abandoned by everybody including the camp’s healthcare
personnel from 6.am to 3.pm.
He said it was the state government that now intervened and
rushed the victim to the hospital, where he was given medical
attention.
Fasubaa revealed that the corps member blood sample was taken
and sent to the National laboratory in Lagos for examination. He
said the test result which later came in from the National laboratory
declared the victim Ebola-free.
The commissioner said the young man was lucky to be alive as he
could have died from non-attention by the healthcare personnel at
the orientation camp.
Fasubaa further explained that for anybody to have EVD he /she
would have travelled to infectious area or had contact with an
infected person, and after 2-21 days of such contact, the person
would develop the symptoms of fever, intense weakness, bone and
muscular pains, which would later progress to vomiting, diarrhea
and organ damage.
He urged the state doctors to live up to their responsibilities and
remember the Hippocratic oath they took, and stressed that not all
patients that have fever or vomiting is Ebola carrier.
The deadly virus was first recorded in 1976 after an outbreak in
Zaire now the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and was brought
to Nigeria by the late Ameriac-Liberian, Patrick Sawyer. It would be
recalled that a Nigerian woman last week died at the United Arab
Emirate (UAE) on suspicion of Ebola virus after showing symptoms
related to the disease.

Are the politicians maintaining there own vows?...EBOLA is worth beign afraid of.

Wow!!!! So anyone who faints at any time is a potential Ebola patient... I fear this country eh

This is serious. Someone might collaspe due to stress and might be left to die there.


But how do we know the difference Since there's no phenotypical symptom associated with ebola.

ebola is only infectious in d later stages

even doctors r supposed to know this
