Kenya confirms its first-ever Ebola case — and death

Kenya confirmed its first-ever Ebola case on Tuesday, and the patient — a Kenyan man living in the Democratic Republic of Congo — has died. He fell ill about a month ago, traveled overland to Kampala, then flew to Nairobi on October 3, where he died Monday night. The strain is Bundibugyo, the same one driving the DRC outbreak.

Health officials have identified 28 contacts, one of whom has tested positive, and are tracing 23 passengers and 4 crew members from his Jambojet flight into Nairobi.
