Free Picture: Fastening an Isolation Unit with a Suspected Ebola Patient - 1976 Image URL   E-Mail   Forum BB   HTML   MySpace

Description
This 1976 photo shows CDC staff member Dr. Stan Foster (center) fastening a make-shift bottle anchor to the isolation unit of a suspected Ebola patient, Del Conn.

Mr. Conn, shown here wearing a respirator inside a plastic isolator, became ill with Ebola-like symptoms while working on the Yambuku survey effort. Worried that Conn was infected with the deadly virus, medical evacuation of the patient from Yambuku to South Africa was ordered. Evacuation of the patient took some time, for it was feared that such exposure of the newly discovered Ebola virus could facilitate its spread locally, as well as internationally.
