A Spanish nurse has contracted Ebola after treating two patients who died from the disease at a Madrid hospital, the government said Monday, in the first known case of transmission outside of Africa.
The 40-year-old began to feel ill on September 30 but did not go to hospital until Sunday, complaining of a fever.
Two tests have now confirmed that she has been infected with the deadly virus that has killed more than 3,400 people in west Africa.
Spanish health officials are scrambling to find out who she may have come into contact with, and are monitoring 30 people — including her co-workers and husband — closely for symptoms of the deadly disease.
The woman was part of a medical team at Madrid’s La Paz-Carlos III hospital that treated two elderly Spanish missionaries who died of Ebola shortly after they were repatriated from Africa.
She had gone on holiday the day after the second patient died on September 25, Madrid’s primary healthcare director, Antonio Alemany, said at a news conference, without specifying where she had travelled to.
The nurse, who is married without children, is now being treated in isolation at a hospital in Alcorcon, a southern Madrid suburb.
She is in a stable condition although still running a fever, Alemany added.
– Repatriation deemed risky –
News of the nurse’s infection has sparked renewed questions about the Spanish government’s decision to repatriate infected missionaries from Africa, with critics saying that the nation’s hospitals were not adequately equipped to deal with Ebola cases.
The nurse had treated Spanish priest Miguel Pajares, 75, who was infected with Ebola in Liberia and died on August 12, as well as Manuel Garcia Viejo, 69, who was repatriated from Sierra Leone and died on September 25.
Pajares was the first patient in the fast-spreading Ebola outbreak to be evacuated to Europe for treatment.
Both missionaries were treated in isolation at La Paz-Carlos III hospital, and the medical team that cared for them were closely monitored.
But a union that represents Spanish doctors, Amyts, had called the repatriation “risky”.
“We are working to see if all the protocols which were established were strictly followed,” Health Minister Ana Mato told the news conference.
“Spain follows all the recommendations of the World Health Organization,” she added.

Shame
She may have been negligent pena pake. Otherwise, the protective gear being used is very reliable. As a matter of fact, health personnel who lost lives in West Africa suffered their fate due to lack of protective equipment and knowledge about the disease itself in the early stages of the epidemic.
