The health of an Italian doctor who contracted Ebola in west Africa is deteriorating, the specialist clinic in Rome treating him said on Saturday. The 50-year-old infectious diseases medic -- who has not been publicly identified -- was repatriated on Tuesday from Sierra Leone with a fever and given an experimental drug to try to combat the often-deadly virus. But since Friday there has been a progressive aggravation of the mans condition, the Lazzaro Spallanzani Institute treating him said in a statement. He has started to have gastro-intestinal problems (nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea). He has a high fever, currently over 39 degrees Celsius, it said.
