A child with a fever has been admitted to University of Chicago Medical Center to be checked for the Ebola virus after being screened at O’Hare International Airport.
The patient remains in stable condition Friday evening, according to a statement from the hospital.
The child, whose age and gender was not released, was admitted Friday morning “for observation to rule out Ebola virus disease,” the hospital said in an earlier statement. “Federal authorities identified the child as having a fever but no other symptoms of Ebola during screening at O’Hare.
“The patient has been isolated under strict quarantine protocols until the child’s condition improves and a diagnosis is established,” the statement said.
