70 Die of Ebola-Like Illness in Democratic Republic of Congo 
-------------------------------------------------------------


 
The World Health Organization says at least 70 people have died in the
northern Democratic Republic of Congo from an outbreak of an Ebola-like
illness. While the symptoms of the two illnesses are similar, experts
say the death rate for the other illness is far lower than that of
Ebola.
