GENEVA (AP) - A second case of polio has been diagnosed in Angola, suggesting that the disease could be spreading in the southwest African country, the U.N. health agency said Tuesday.
The case was reported by Angolan authorities in the port city of Lobito, 250 miles south of the capital of Luanda, where the country's first new case in four years was reported earlier this month, said Oliver Rosenbauer, spokesman for the World Health Organization's polio eradication program.
"Certainly they've got an outbreak," Rosenbauer told The Associated Press. "The spread of it remains to be seen."
