Case of Ebola reported in Sweden!

A patient in Sweden is feared to have been struck down with Ebola, health officials in the country have warned.
Ebola killed 11,000 people and ravaged West Africa during an epidemic between 2014-15. One case was detected in Spain, Italy and the UK, respectively
The patient, who local reports suggest is a 'younger man', is currently in isolation at the University Hospital in Uppsala.
Doctors treating the man, whose symptoms including blood in his vomit and stools, say he is awake and his blood pressure is normal. Test results expected tonight will confirm if he does have Ebola - considered one of the most lethal pathogens in existence.
If the unnamed patient does have it, he would be the fifth person to have ever been diagnosed with the virus on European soil, it is believed. Ebola killed 11,000 people and ravaged West Africa during an epidemic between 2014-15.
One case was detected in Spain, Italy and the UK, respectively.
