U.S. appears on Map with confirmed Ebola case amongst others

The United States is the seventh country with a Ebola patient diagnosed this year, and the only country outside of Africa with a confirmed case.

CDC confirmed on September 30, 2014, through laboratory tests, the first case of Ebola to be diagnosed in the United States in a person who had traveled to Dallas, Texas from West Africa. The patient did not have symptoms when leaving West Africa, but developed symptoms approximately five days after arriving in the United States.
