Ebola spreads in western Uganda: officials

Three people with suspected Ebola were Monday admitted to hospital in western Uganda, where the virus has killed 18 people and is spreading from village to village, government officials said.

"Three cases were admitted today, bringing the total to 64," said Samuel Kazinga, the district commissioner for Bundibugyo, the epicentre of the new outbreak.

With experts from the Atlanta-based Centre for Disease Control (CDC) expected on Tuesday, efforts to isolate and intern patients in Bundibugyo, near the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), appeared to suffer setbacks.

"Some people refuse to come of their home to seek treatment, but our social mobilisation team is trying to convince them to come out," Kazinga said, describing the phenomenon as "psychological."
