and contagious ebola virus.

hospital staff after the death of the 38-year-old Briton. The unnamed
woman is understood to work at an embassy in the African kingdom of
Lesotho.

- Before boarding a Virgin Atlantic flight
from Johannesburg to Heathrow she visited a doctor complaining of
flu-like symptoms. She was allowed to fly, but during Flight VS602 to
the UK she suffered a violent fit which left her unconscious. Cabin crew
and passengers rushed to her aid but towards the end of the flight she
began to vomiting.
-
- When the Airbus A340-600, carrying 267
passengers and crew, touchdown at Heathrow she was rushed to nearby
Hillingdon Hospital, West London. Her symptoms matched those of the
viral haemorraghing fever, ebola. The results of a post mortem are
awaited.

contact with the woman have been told to monitor their health. One said:
"We are now terrified what we may have caught."

the sudden onset of fever, intense weakness, muscle pain, headache and
sore throat.
