A British man has died of suspected Ebola in the
Macedonian capital of Skopje despite not having
been to Africa. If confirmed, the unnamed 58-
year-old is the first British victim of the Ebola
outbreak that has killed thousands in West Africa
and has spread to North America and Europe.
The man's death and nationality was confirmed
by the Macedonian Foreign Ministry last night
and the its head of infectious diseases, Dr
Jovanka Kostovska, said the Briton had been
suffering from fever, vomiting and internal
bleeding.
'These are all symptoms of Ebola, which raises
suspicions with this patient,' she said.
A second man, 72, a friend of the deceased, has
also shown symptoms of the disease.
Macedonian officials said last night the
unnamed victim had flown the Skopje directly
from Britain and had not been to any countries
known to be battling Ebola outbreaks. It raises
the terrifying possibility that he contracted the
disease in the UK or Macedonia.
The 58-year-old Briton had stayed in his hotel
room for three days with severe stomach ache
but was rushed to hospital at 3pm yesterday
but died within 90 minutes. Paramedics who
treated him have also been quarantined. The
incubation period for Ebola can be between two
and 21 days.
A Health Ministry official said the man had
arrived in Skopje, from Britain a week ago and
had been rushed to hospital at 3pm on
Thursday, where he died several hours later.
The British government have ordered airports to
quiz passengers arriving from West Africa in an
attempt to prevent Ebola entering the UK, just
hours after ministers said it would do little to
curb the spread of the deadly virus. But experts
today told MailOnline 'shutting borders will not
stop Ebola', as leading experts say the key to
tackling the vicious virus is 'rooting it out' at
the source, in West Africa.
Experts say the most effective method of
tackling the outbreak is to direct resources and
funds to fighting the disease in West Africa,
welcoming news the UK has vowed to deploy
750 soldiers and a medical warship to Sierra
Leone.
A U.S. health chief has warned the outbreak
could become the 'next Aids', unless drastic
action is taken to halt the crisis.
