Summary

Thomas Eric Duncan flew from Liberia to Dallas and was hospitalised at Texas Health Presbyterian, where he died on 8 October 2014. Two nurses who treated him contracted Ebola but recovered. Several medically evacuated American clinicians treated elsewhere in the US are counted separately by the CDC.

Why this matters

First Ebola case diagnosed on US soil; triggered nationwide policy debate on quarantine and healthcare-worker protection.
