Ebola Hemorrhagic Fever

Effective Immediately

PathGroup would like to partner with you in protecting your employees and others from unnecessary exposure during the current Ebola outbreak. Limiting the amount of handling of specimens obtained from patients with suspected Ebola virus disease (EVD) is critical.

Patients with known or suspected EVD should not be referred to a PathGroup Patient Service Center; nor should collection of any specimen types be performed by a PathGroup phlebotomist.

If you have specimens from patients that are being evaluated for EVD, providers must contact their local State Department of Health to expedite testing and prevent exposure to transportation personnel.
