Kenyan authorities confirmed the imported case and the patient’s death, according to the Associated Press. Health officials are expected to trace contacts and monitor people exposed to the patient, while the confirmation heightens regional public-health concerns because Nairobi is a major international travel center. The development follows renewed attention to infectious-disease preparedness and cross-border surveillance in East and Central Africa.
