Episode Details

Brazil’s health authorities are on high alert after two potential Ebola cases emerged in its biggest cities—São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. A 37-year-old Congolese man with fever and a Belgian man from Uganda with flu-like symptoms are both being tested for Ebola, even though they’ve already been diagnosed with meningitis and malaria, respectively. Results are expected next week—if confirmed, it would be the first Ebola cases outside Africa since the current outbreak began in the DRC. With over 1,000 suspected cases and 246 deaths in the DRC, and nine confirmed cases in Uganda, the world is watching closely as Brazil braces for what could be a major public health crisis.
