It has now been confirmed that a 15-year old male, the beginning of Liberia's "fourth wave" of EVD, acquired EBOV from....somewhere...somehow.[9]Looks like new case of #Ebola here in #Liberia. I'm confident that the Govt will again contain it effectively. Hope the poor boy recovers.— Sinead Walsh (@SWalshIRL) November 20, 2015
Nation enters 90-day enhanced surveillance period
Within the next 90 day enhanced surveillance period and in the months and months to come, we may see a case or cases pop up and clusters may result. But Sierra Leone knows what Ebola virus disease is and how to deal with it. It won't be caught out the same way again. @amymaxmen I've heard she has a meningitis like syndrome, probably CSF is where #Ebola virus is replicating— Ahmed Tejan-Sie MD (@AhmedTejanSie) October 9, 2015
All speculation. Again, nothing is known about PC's signs and symptoms of disease when she presented herself to the QEUH, what tissue(s) are involved in her current illness, which samples tested positive first, whether viral culture has been conducted or just RT-PCR and where the virus may have been replicating all this time. While we understand that some tissues are sites for EBOV persistence, there is clearly much more to learn about the frequency and full range of tissues that harbour infectious EBOV once it becomes undetectable in the blood.@MackayIM @amymaxmen CSF and blood (later) positive— Ahmed Tejan-Sie MD (@AhmedTejanSie) October 15, 2015
