Friday, Kenyans will receive from Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) the medical test results of a woman who died from a mysterious disease with signs similar to a hemorrhagic disease.
The woman identified as Gladys Muthoni died from what looked like a highly contagious and fast-killing Ebola in Nairobi.
Before succumbing to death the woman exhibited symptoms including bleeding from all openings in her body and destruction of main body organs. This has stunned Kenyan medical fraternity and threatens Xmas celebrations.
Workmates say blood oozed from all her openings including eyes, ears and mouth, leaving her supervisor, fellow workers and patrons in shock.
Before she was rushed to hospital, Muthoni had mingled with many people at the busy hotel along Sheikh Nkrumah Road in Nairobi, where she reported for work on Wednesday night.
She also went to the market to buy supplies for the hotel, where her colleagues said she was suddenly hit by heavy bleeding, before she collapsed.
Several medical specialists at KNH led by Dr Masika Wafula doused both the bloodstained car that carried the disease and from which the body had not been removed five hours later with disinfectants.
Those who brought her were quarantined to be tested and to prevent spread of the virus if it turned out to be killer Ebola.
