Two patients in the Washington, D.C., area have been cleared of possibly having Ebola.
One patient being treated at Howard University Hospital does not have the disease, according to the D.C. Department of Health and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and reported by NBC.
Another patient being treated at Shady Grove Adventist Hospital in Rockville, Md., was tested for Ebola but does not have it either.
It is still unknown what the first patient suffers from, but it is now public that the second patient has malaria.
Both recently returned to the U.S. from Africa.
Fourteen labs in the U.S. can test for Ebola, though most will still send a sample to the CDC for confirmation.
So far, only one of the 15 suspect cases — Thomas Eric Duncan in Dallas, Texas — has tested positive for Ebola.
