Ebola Contagion in Spain Raises fears for Europe

Doctors in Spain hospitalized 3 more people and rushed to identify dozens of others at risk on Tuesday after a nurse was infected with the deadly Ebola virus, raising fears of contagion in Europe.
The European Union demanded answers about how the disease spread in a specialized disease unit while health staff protested over safety failures.
The nurse worked at Madrid's La Paz-Carlos III, where she cared for two elderly Spanish missionaries who died from the virus after being flown home from West Africa, where the disease has killed nearly 3,500 people.
The Madrid nurse, identified by Spanish media as a woman in her forties called Teresa, became the first person to contract the disease outside Africa.
Officials said they were trying to find out who she came into contact with before being isolated on Monday. They were monitoring 52 people -- mostly health staff.
Doctors at the hospital said her husband was also at "high risk" and was put in isolation. Another "suspect case" -- a Spanish engineer recently returned from Nigeria -- was also being monitored.
A fourth patient, one of the nurse's colleagues, who had suffered from diarrhea, has also been taken in for observation, the hospital said.
The infected nurse had treated Spanish priest Miguel Pajares, 75, who was infected with Ebola in Liberia and died on August 12, as well as Manuel Garcia Viejo, 69, who was repatriated from Sierra Leone and died on September 25.
She is believed to have contracted the virus while caring for Garcia Viejo.
