Dec. 4, 2014 -- An American health care worker who may be infected with Ebola is being flown from West Africa to the U.S. and will be taken to Emory University Hospital in Atlanta.
The hospital has a special isolation unit that was used for four of the 10 Ebola patients previously treated in the U.S. Six of those 10 were Americans infected while providing care in Ebola-stricken countries in West Africa, the Associated Press reported.
No details about the health care worker were released, and a hospital spokeswoman did not say why the patient was being evacuated from West Africa even before Ebola infection was confirmed.
Citing privacy considerations, a U.S. State Department official refused to comment on the case, the AP reported.
