Missionary Infected with Lassa Fever Being Treated in the U.S.
Emory University Hospital in Atlanta is currently treating an American health care worker who was diagnosed with Lassa fever, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) said on Sunday.
Emory is the same hospital which treated 4 Ebola patients in 2014.
The patient, a physician’s assistant who had been working with a missionary organization in Tongo, was transported from West Africa to Atlanta at the request of the U.S. State Department after doctors suspected she had the virus. [1]
