A Spanish nurse who treated an Ebola
victim in Madrid is thought to be the
first person to have contracted the
virus outside Africa, health officials
say.
The nurse tested positive for Ebola in
initial tests and doctors are awaiting final
results, according to reports.
She was part of the team that treated
Spanish priest Manuel Garcia Viejo, who
died of Ebola on 25 September.
Some 3,400 people have died in the
outbreak - mostly in West Africa.

The priest died in the hospital Carlos III
de Madrid after catching Ebola in Sierra
Leone.
The nurse was admitted to hospital on
Monday morning with a high fever,
Spanish newspaper El Pais said.
Doctors isolated the emergency
treatment room, the report said.
Ebola spreads through contact with the
bodily fluids of someone who has the
virus and the only way to stop an
outbreak is to isolate those who are
infected.
There have been nearly 7,500 confirmed
infections worldwide, with officials saying
the figure is likely to be much higher in
reality.
Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia have
been hardest hit.
Celebrations in West Africa for the
Muslim festival of Eid al-Adha are being
badly affected by the Ebola outbreak,
with many public places deserted this
weekend.
Earlier health officials said people arriving in the US from Ebola-affected countries in West Africa could be subject to extra screening at airports.
It comes as the US tries to limit the
spread of its first confirmed case, a
Liberian in Dallas.
