"Suspected Marburg cases hospitalised in Italy, DR Congo"
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Italian hospital staff have put nine patients in isolation, suspected of contact with the Marburg virus, an Ebola-like killer which has broken out in Angola, the UN health organisation has said.
World Health Organisation (WHO) spokeswoman Fadela Chaib said two suspected cases had also been reported in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), across the border from the north Angola area where the outbreak began six months ago.
"Nine people who were in contact with an ill person were isolated in an Italian hospital," Ms Chaib said, without giving details of in which town or what nationality the possible victims were, or of they were ill.
Last week, an Italian paediatrician died of haemorrhagic fever in Angola, according to Medici con Africa, the relief organisation for which she worked. The WHO was unable to say whether the nine patients in Italy had been in touch with this woman.
The WHO ruled out two other suspected cases reported in Portugal earlier this week following medical tests."
