OAU Student Tests Negative For Ebola Virus – Management by Emmafrancis: 1:26pm On Sep 11, 2014 |
The management of the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile Ife,has said that the female student of the institution who was suspected to have the Ebola virus and moved to Lagos State has tested negative to the virus. The Public Relations Officer of the OAU, Mr. Abiodun Olanrewaju, said this in a telephone interview with our correspondent on Thursday. He said, ” The preliminary result of the girl is out and she tested negative. Another test will be done tomorrow. The university will issue a statement on this later today.” The female student of the university who hails from Port Harcourt, Rivers State was said to have had contact with Dr. Iyke Enemuo who died of the Ebola virus after treating an ECOWAS diplomat in a hotel room. The OAU student was said to have been put under surveillance in Port Harcourt for 21 days before she was certified okay having tested negative to the virus. However, on her return to the OAU to resume her studies, she took ill again on Monday and she walked to the university’s health centre where she was admitted. He confession to have had contact with the late doctor and the symptoms similar to the EVD triggered rumour that she had the virus and the whole university community was thrown into panic. Some students told our correspondent that the lady was bleeding and showing signs of the Ebola virus. But the result of the second test now would calm students of the university who had been thrown into panic since she fell sick and was moved to Lagos. www.punchng.com/news/oau-student-tests-negative-to-ebola-virus-management/ |

This is worrisome. Are these tests 100% accurate? What if she's infected by a mutation of the virus that the current tests cannot detect? |
