umbertino Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 A diagnosis for Ebola could be given in as little as 15 minutes as French researchers make headway with a new test for the virus. The technology, which works like a pregnancy test, involves placing a drop of blood or urine onto a strip and waiting for it to change colour. Doctors are hopeful that this test could streamline treatment, as current diagnoses can take up to 24 hours Source: Reuters Tuesday 4 November 2014 17.51 GMT http://www.theguardian.com/world/video/2014/nov/04/researchers-france-develop-15-minute-ebola-virus-test-video Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nannab Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 This would be a great!! The thought alone that you might have ebola is scary enough. But having to wait 24hrs makes it that much worse. On top of 21 days confinement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
