Mali Reports Five Ebola Cases With Sixth Possible – Bloomberg.
Mali reported the death of a girl suspected of having Ebola, as the nation races to contain the virus that has ravaged three of its West African neighbors.
Results from tests to confirm whether the girl had the virus will be known today, Alassane Souleymane, a spokesman for Mali’s communication ministry, said by e-mail today.
Five people have been confirmed as having Ebola and a sixth case is suspected, Hubert Balique, a French public-health expert consulting with the French embassy in Mali, told reporters yesterday.

NEW YORK, New York, October 24, 2014 (ENS) – The worst Ebola outbreak in history, which began in West Africa in March, is traveling around the world. On Thursday, a New York City emergency room doctor who worked with Ebola patients in Guinea was diagnosed with the disease and is quarantined in hospital in New York.
Today the first case appeared in the West African country of Mali.
This week two African countries – Senegal and Nigeria – were declared Ebola-free. The World Health Organization said, “The most important lesson for the world at large is this: an immediate, broad-based, and well-coordinated response can stop the Ebola virus, carried into a country in an infected traveller, dead in its tracks.”
Of the 9,936 Ebola cases reported as of October 19 to the World Health Organization, 4,877 people have died.
The survivors include an infected nurse who cared for the first case of Ebola diagnosed in the United States. Today, Nina Pham, 26, was released from the National Institutes of Health Clinical Center in Bethesda, Maryland, where she was treated, with a clean bill of health. She went to the White House to meet with President Barack Obama before returning home to Dallas.

Following the sad death of its first Ebola case, Mali’s President has said he will not close his nation’s border with Guinea, because “the incident showed it was impossible to completely seal his country.”
