Ebola: South African Woman Tested Negative - Minister of Health, Prof. Chukwu by thegoodjoehunt3(m): 5:24am On Sep 12, 2014
[b]The South African woman suspected of the Ebola Virus Disease has tested negative.
According to Minister of Health, Prof. Onyebuch Chukwu, the test conducted on the woman came back negative.

She is however being investigated for other disease.
The South African woman, whose identity was not revealed, flew into the Murtala Muhammed International Airport from Morocco on Thursday.

She was treated as a suspected case and was being taken to Lagos’ Ebola treatment centre for tests to see whether she actually had the virus, Reuters reports.

The traveller, who lives in Cape Town, filled out a health questionnaire on her arrival at Lagos in which she acknowledged suffering from diarrhea and vomiting, both possible symptoms of the Ebola hemorrhagic virus.

“This person has been in Guinea and Sierra Leone since April and she has symptoms,” Dr. Morenike Alex-Okoh, director of Port Health Services at MMIA, told Reuters.

Not being a pessimist here, but are these tests giving out the correct results or are we being kept in the dark ? People with full blown symptoms go in for tests and come back with negative results like nurse Justina's fiance, OAU student, SA woman..Anyways if its indeed true, then kudos to our Govt.

^ Justina' s fiance said they ran the test thrice. His result came positive twice and negative once. The OAU student had blood in her stool and vomit and they had confirmed she had established contact with late doctor. They had released press statements agreeing with the rumor and then a audden u turn. The SA woman was brisked away because some prelim test showed she tested positive (thats wht the report I read said) And suddenly their results come back negative. If a man who tested positive twice could get a negative result third time, all these negative results should be checked and re checked before they are discharged.

so if all the results came out positive u wiil be satisfy

please note the current death rate for ebola is 55%, and if things are done well, people report early before manisfestertion of signs, it can be reduced to 20- 30 %.

Thank God but I still want to reiterate this;by what yardsticks is all these tests conducted?
Cos from what i know, Ebola virus could be hidden from the eye of the microscope.
It mostly hid under the cover of malaria parasite and could be erroneously diagnosed to be malaria or salmonella typho!
Hope these tests are been conducted under the super vigilance of the WHO and hope sophisticated medical apparatus are been engineered!
