A second Ebola death in Uganda, a 4-year-old child, marks a setback in efforts to contain the outbreak declared on 30 January.

The child, who died on Tuesday, had been receiving treatment at the main referral facility in Kampala. This follows the earlier death of a male nurse, the first recorded victim of the outbreak.
