Kenya has confirmed a second case of Ebola, a relative of the country's first victim. The initial case involved a man who had traveled to Kenya from the Democratic Republic of Congo and subsequently died.
The emergence of a second case, directly linked to the first, is likely to heighten concerns within the country and prompt increased scrutiny of public health surveillance measures. Health officials are working to trace contacts and contain any potential spread of the virus.
