After Ebola Case in Dallas, Health Officials Seek Those Who Had Contact With Patient - NYTimes.com: DALLAS — Health officials scrambled on Wednesday to find anyone who has had contact with a man who flew into Dallas from Liberia and was later found to be infected with the Ebola virus.

Although the man came to the United States about 10 days ago on a commercial airliner, officials said that he had shown no symptoms of the disease while on the flight and that he had posed no threat to other passengers.

Officials are focused on finding people who came into contact with the man after he began showing symptoms, on Sept. 24. As a patient becomes sicker and the virus replicates in the body, the likelihood of the disease spreading grows.
