The WHO has also verified the strain and warned that no approved vaccine or specific treatment exists for it.
The patient travelled into Abuja on October 3,2026 developed symptoms on October 7, 2026 and presented at a private hospital on October 11, 2026 where she was initially treated for malaria‑like symptoms before Ebola was suspected.
According to the Incident Manager of the National Ebola Response, Dr. Odianosen Ehiakhamen, she is now in isolation, receiving care as surveillance intensifies.
The NCDC has identified 44 close contacts including health workers, caregivers, patients and travel contacts all of whom are being monitored closely.

I repeat, make una just hold am for Abuja oooo. I don't want to hear about it down here at all.
ReplyDeleteGod will heal her completely
Not true, people are traveling from Abuja down there everyday 🙄🤔
DeletePinky, multi-organ failure means she'll need to be on some form of life support soon, if she isn't already. But that'll only be buying a minute amount of time considering that there is no known cure for ebola.
DeleteThe worrying thing for me is that this particular virus has a less than 21 day incubation period and when symptoms break out, even contact with their sweat can spread the virus.
The bigger issue here though is that because of the coming elections, government may want to suppress any reports about this.
Just keep quiet if you have nothing sensible to say.
