Isiro samples found "negative"

    NAIROBI

    Meanwhile, samples collected from the victim in Isiro and tested last week in a South African laboratory showed negative for haemorrhagic fever, an official from WHO's regional office in Harare told IRIN on Monday. The laboratory results showed that the soldier in Isiro "died from something other than haemorrhagic fever", the official said. However, additional
    samples have been collected from the area and efforts were underway to transport them to South Africa for further testing, he added.
