Patient awaits tests for rabies
The patient is at the Royal Victoria Hospital in Belfast
Further tests are being carried out to confirm whether a patient at a hospital in Belfast has rabies.
Initial tests were positive. The patient had been abroad but began to feel unwell after they had been home for several months.
The Eastern Health Board said it was leading a multi-agency investigation but stressed the risk to the wider community was 'negligible'. The patient is being treated at the Royal Victoria Hospital in Belfast. The board and its partner agencies are taking advice from the Health Protection Agency and the Veterinary Laboratories Agency.
