Risk in the “Red Zone”: Outcomes for Children Admitted to Ebola Holding Units in Sierra Leone Without Ebola Virus Disease

We collected data on 1054 children admitted to Ebola Holding Units in Sierra Leone and describe outcomes of 697/1054 children testing negative for Ebola virus disease (EVD) and accompanying caregivers. Case-fatality was 9%; 3/630 (0.5%) children discharged testing negative were readmitted EVD-positi...
