From: Larry Madoff <lmadoff@promedmail.org>


On 13 Nov 2009, ProMED posted a report of a news story describing an 
outbreak of Ebola in the Kasai Occidental region of the Democratic 
Republic of Congo [archive number 20091113.3927]. This appears to be 
an inadvertent duplication of a report that had originated in 
December of 2008, and there does not appear to have been any new 
outbreak in the region.

ProMED regrets the error and appreciates the assistance of an astute 
reader for bringing it to our attention.
