- •
We detail two cases where transmission of EVD occurred in health care settings.
- •
We describe admission and care of two EVD cases–one pediatric and one maternity.
- •
Delayed EVD recognition and inadequate PPE contributed to nosocomial spread.
- •
Limiting non-health care worker contact to patients may limit infection spread.
- •
Routine EVD screening of admitted patients may help decrease EVD transmission.
