Ebola research: Fever not a surefire sign of infection

The study, sponsored by the World Health Organization and published online late last month by the New England Journal of Medicine, analyzed data on 3,343 confirmed and 667 probable cases of Ebola.

The finding that 87.1% of those infected exhibited fever — but 12.9% did not — illustrates the challenges confronting health authorities as they struggle to contain the epidemic.

The CDC: No fever = No Ebola.

I hope this doesn’t bite them- and by extension us- in the butt.
