A woman who has been tested for Ebola has been given a negative test result at a hospital in south London after she admitted herself last night with a "haemorrhagic fever".
St George's Hospital in Tooting confirmed that the unnamed patient, who is said to have a history of travelling to west Africa, was being examined in an isolated clinical infections unit this morning, reported The Independent on its Website Monday.
The patient underwent a series of tests, one of which was hoped to detect whether she had caught the viral disease which has claimed the lives of thousands.
A Public Health England spokesman had said before the result was announced: "PHE can confirm it will undertake precautionary tests relating to a patient presently at St George's Hospital in Tooting, who has a history of travel to west Africa.
