Abstract

We collected data on 1054 children admitted to Ebola Holding Units in Sierra Leone and describe outcomes of 697/1054 children testing negative for Ebola virus disease (EVD) and accompanying caregivers. Case-fatality was 9 3/630 (0.5 children discharged testing negative were readmitted EVD-positive. Nosocomial EVD transmission risk may be lower than feared.
