Uganda Clears Three Experimental Ebola Treatments, Watches for Spread

   KAMPALA - Health workers have got the all-clear to use three
   experimental Ebola treatments in Uganda, a week after the deadly
   disease spread over the border from Democratic Republic of Congo,
   authorities said Tuesday.

   Two people who had traveled from Congo died in Uganda last week, the
   World Health Organization said. A three-year-old boy who was sent back
   to Congo after testing positive for the disease died at the weekend,
   Congo's health ministry said.

   At least another 1,411 people have died in Congo since August in the
   second worst outbreak of the disease on record.
