MADRID (AP) — A Spanish Health Ministry official says a nurse who treated a Sierra Leone missionary for Ebola has tested positive for the disease, with authorities awaiting the results of a second test to confirm what would be the first known infection inside Spain.

The woman went to the Alcorcon hospital in the Madrid suburbs with a high fever and was placed in isolation. The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity in accordance with the regulations of his job, declined to name the woman.
