On Friday morning Baylor Hospital in Dallas confirmed a patient with ‘ebola similar symptoms’ also triggered a positive on a verbal screening questionnaire.

Although a positive blood test has not been confirmed, sources says it’s not unusual to have a patient screen positive considering the wider net for ebola now over Dallas. A positive screening means the patient met some of the criteria to cause concern.

A source at Baylor Hospital Dallas says the patient came to the Emergency Room through a private entrance and went straight to isolation.The source says Baylor transferred the person to Presbyterian Hospital a short while later.

A spokeswoman at Presbyterian read a statement to 1080 KRLD reporter L.P. Phillips on behalf of Texas Health Presbyterian spokesman Wendell Watson saying the hospital does not have a transfer patient – but could not say whether the patient was treated and released.

According to a release from Baylor Health Care System a patient was at Baylor University Medical Center Dallas Thursday evening reporting ebola symptoms and indicated contact with someone with the disease.
“The patient was transferred within hours to Texas Health Presbyterian as directed by the Dallas County Health Department” according to the Baylor Hospital statement.
Complete Statement from Baylor Health Care Systems:

Baylor Scott & White Health has not received any confirmed cases of Ebola.
A patient presented at Baylor University Medical Center at Dallas Thursday evening reporting Ebola symptoms and indicated contact with someone with the disease. The patient was transferred within hours to Texas Health Presbyterian as directed by the Dallas County Health Department.
