LISBON, Portugal (AP) - The death toll from an Ebola-like fever in the African nation of Angola rose to 112 on Friday, with three deaths reported in its capital.
A 15-year-old boy, an Italian aid worker and a Vietnamese doctor died in Luanda from the hemorragic fever, health officials said, according to the Portuguese news agency Lusa. Two other cases of the illness were detected in Luanda.
Health officials said all five patients had come from Uige, the province along the Congo border where the outbreak was first reported. Officials feared the patients could have come into contact with more people in Luanda.
