The number of Ebola cases in West Africa rose by 108 between August 2 and 4 this year. A further 45 people died from the disease during the same period, the World Health Organization said, as the virus continued to claim health workers in the region as well as airline passengers leaving it. The figures, reported in a WHO statement on Wednesday, didn't include additional deaths and cases that have been attributed to Ebola since. They included a man in Saudi Arabia who was suspected to have Ebola and died Wednesday morning when his heart stopped and attempts to resuscitate him failed, the Saudi Ministry of Health said.

The nurse, and all of the other infected Nigerians thus far, each helped treat Patrick Sawyer, a Liberian-American consultant who fell sick during his air travel between Monrovia, Liberia, and Lagos, Nigeria, Mr. Chukwu said. They have all been put into an isolation unit, he added.
