The patient who was admitted to the Radboudumc in Nijmegen on Thursday with a suspected Ebola infection was not infected with the virus after all. The hospital reports this.
The patient was admitted due to a low suspicion of Ebola. A test to show whether the patient indeed had the virus was negative. “This means that blood tests show that this patient does not have Ebola. The patient is receiving the necessary care in a normal care department,” the Nijmegen hospital reported on Saturday.
Radboudumc and RIVM were previously unable to say anything about the identity of the patient. He or she was initially in a specially equipped department for serious infectious diseases.
