Reports don't agree on the sex of the sick passenger:

http://www.sundaytimes.co.za/zones/sundaytimesNEW/newsst/newsst1114144370.aspx:

A man who fell ill on an aircraft from Angola on Tuesday night and was feared to have Marburg fever appeared only to have had malaria, the health department said on Wednesday. Department spokesman Solly Mabotha said the man, who originally comes from Eritrea, would be held under observation in an isolation ward at the Johannesburg Hospital for a "while longer".

writes "A female passenger fell ill on a South African Airways (SAA) aircraft from Luanda (Angola) Tuesday night shortly before it was due to land. It was feared the air passenger had deadly Marburg fever; in fact she was suffering from malaria.

As a precautionary measure the aircraft was also placed under quarantine. The plane* has been disinfected and will not be used it until SAA gets the go-ahead.

That's OK, Reuter's has it as a 'man' on 'Wednesday' and it being 'malaria.' MSM can't get the facts of a simple story right or there were 3 cases isolated and tested. And all were positive for malaria.
