'Small probability' Briton who died in Macedonia had Ebola, says health ministry

First analysis shows there was "small probability" a Briton who died in Macedonia on Thursday had the Ebola virus, according to health officials.

"There is a small probability he had Ebola, but we have to wait for the full results," Dr. Jovanka Kostovska of the Macedonia ministry's commission for infectious diseases, told a news conference.

Kostovska said the hotel where the Briton had been staying remained sealed off and blood and tissue samples have been sent to Frankfurt for testing. There have been no other suspicious cases in Macedonia, the doctor added.
