The man with the first case of Ebola diagnosed in the U.S. went to hospital feeling sick only to be given antibiotics and be sent home.
It was not until two days later that the man was admitted to the Dallas hospital and put in isolation, it has been reported.
It raises the frightening prospect that he was mixing freely with other people for a full two days while showing symptoms of the virus - the time when Ebola is most contagious.
The unidentified patient has been in isolation at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital since Sunday, officials said. The hospital has launched a review into the delay.
Scott Gordon, a reporter for KXAS, tweeted 'Hospital reviewing why patient wasn't properly diagnosed on Friday when he was evaluated and sent home. Dismissed with antibiotics.'

WTF HERE IT COMES, THANKS OBAMA, PEOPLE GET PREPPED.
Terrorist at work!
I told you, I told you from day one on here and outbreak would come to kill us off and to call in martial law or for them to put the final nail in the coffin to be slaves like North korea has done to their people...
Conspiracy what now dumbasses? It is factual and actual so there is no conspiracy when you will be living it and feeling it...
GODSPEED, to all americans who didn't deserve any of this or to die this way...
WE NOW HAVE EBOLA IN THE USA...
How can this much incompetence still be sitting in the White House?
Our entire political system is corrupt. Show me a Federal Politician and I guarantee I can find cash received for votes given.
Leader of the House is gutless - yet his state re-elected him.
Tells me it is we who are at fault for letting this go on for so long.
Bc he is Anti American, look at EVERYTHING he is doing to America.
Andy Harris please step up and explain our health policy here! Stopping flights? Quarantine? Are we just running the US into the ground? Does anybody care?
soooo... let me get this straight. The Dallas hospital fails to keep a person who has contracted Ebola and it's Obama's fault? You guys are REALLY pushing it. I'm over here laughing my butt off at your ignorance. You seriously think that Obama called the hospital in Dallas and asked them to send this man home because he has Ebola and so that he can infect the rest of the country?
Fire in the hole!!
