A Spanish nurse who treated an Ebola victim in Madrid is suspected of being the first person to have contracted the virus outside Africa, Spanish media say.
The nurse tested positive for Ebola in initial tests and doctors are awaiting final results, according to reports.
She was a member of the team that treated Spanish priest Manuel Garcia Viejo, who died of Ebola on 25 September.
Spanish newspaper El Pais and radio Cadena Ser were among those who said the nurse had tested positive for Ebola in initial tests and officials were awaiting final results.
No one was immediately available in Madrid's health department to confirm the reports.
