UPPER EAST SIDE (WABC) -- Mount Sinai Hospital is performing tests on a patient who had recently traveled to a West African country where Ebola has been reported, the hospital says.
A male patient with high fever and gastrointestinal symptoms came to the hospital's emergency room on Monday morning.
The hospital says the patient has been placed in strict isolation and is undergoing medical screenings to determine the cause of his symptoms.
"All necessary steps are being taken to ensure the safety of all patients, visitors and staff. We will continue to work closely with federal, state and city health officials to address and monitor this case, keep the community informed and provide the best quality care to all of our patients," the hospital wrote in a statement.

If this is Ebola, the worrisome part is he came in off the streets.
Unlike the two other scares...the way this one is being reported just makes me think it’s ebola.
I just commented that to my husband.
Rush hour just beginning in NYC and this guy probably rode, sweated and puked in the subway/bus system.
Or he took a cab. Wouldn’t want to be THAT cabbie or subsequent passengers.
If he came in from the bath house we are in big trouble.
Obama = Randall Flagg
New York Sh$tty will make an excellent petri dish for ebola.
But but the CDC just said today they can stop EBOLA...anywhere anytime, Period.
Docs should learn never to talk in absolutes.
This is what Obama wants, anything to derail the November elections..Obama would LOVE an ebola outbreak
Well, ‘stop’ is relative.
The subjective portion is how many dead before they manage that.
Thanks for posting. Life/health BUMP!
Good Point...~!
Hopefully that number will be zero.
We’ll pray for that.
indeed
And there’s umpteen other African diseases this might be. I had fever of 106.5F with malaria. I don’t remember if I was puking or not though, I was delirious at the time.
I wouldn’t even count on them to report the truth, even if it is ebola. Covering it up to avoid panic would be the order of the day.
