A US doctor working with Ebola patients in Liberia has tested positive for the deadly virus.
The charity Samaritan's Purse issued a statement on Saturday saying Dr Kent Brantly was being treated at a hospital in Monrovia, the capital. Brantly had been serving as medical director for the aid organisation's case management centre there.
Samaritan's Purse spokeswoman Melissa Strickland says Brantly's wife and children had been living with him in Africa but are currently in the US.
The disease has already killed 672 in four West African countries since the outbreak began earlier this year.
