Ebola survivors in DRC rise as travel-linked cases surface abroad

Four nurses and a lab worker in Bunia, DRC, have recovered from Bundibugyo Ebola, bringing total recoveries to five as confirmed cases rise to 282 with 42 deaths; the outbreak, the 17th in DRC and its third-largest, has spurred intensified response with over 1,100 suspected cases under investigation. Outside Africa, suspected Ebola cases have appeared in Brazil and Italy tied to travel from affected nations: in Sao Paulo, a suspected case tested positive for meningitis; in Rio de Janeiro, malaria; in Sardinia, Italy, a suspected case was ruled out. Health officials say the overall regional and global risk remains very low.
