isolation at the Ahmadu Bello University Teaching Hospital, Zaria, for
exhibiting symptoms of the deadly Ebola virus disease.
Kaduna State Commissioner for Health, Dr Thot Dogo, who confirmed this
to correspondents in Kaduna, said the hospital authorities alerted the
ministry when they suspected that the man, who is an undergraduate of
ABU, Zaria started showing some signs of Ebola symptoms like high
fever and rashes on his body after over a week he was admitted at the
hospital.
Dogo said the blood sample of the patient has been taken to a
laboratory in Lagos for tests.
According to him, the outcome of the laboratory result would determine
further actions.
He noted that the state government has provided the hospital
management with protective equipment for its team of medical personnel
attending to the patient.
