The pregnant woman that Duncan helped carry to the hospital in Liberia was the 19 yr old daughter of the family that he lived with.

The family apparently thought that she had malaria which may explain why none of them were real worried about contact with her.

Malaria is common in Liberia and it shares a lot of symptoms with Ebola- high fever, headache, fatigue, nausea and vomiting.
