Brazil monitors two patients for Ebola amid fears of spread from Africa

Brazil is monitoring two patients for possible Ebola infection, officials said, prompting further concern of the deadly virus outbreak in central Africa spreading abroad. A 37-year-old man from the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), where the outbreak has been concentrated, “exhibited symptoms such as fever, meeting the definition of a suspected case [of Ebola]”, the São Paulo state government said in a statement on Saturday.
