the Evandro Chagas National Institute of Infectious Diseases of the Oswaldo Cruz Foundation (INI/Fiocruz) in Rio de Janeiro received the first suspected case of Ebola virus disease in Brazil.Twenty-four hours after admission, the result of the patient's first polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test came back negative.Following the prevailing protocol 1 , a second blood sample was drawn 48 hours later, on October 13, and when this second PCR tested negative for Ebola, the case was ruled out and the biosafety measures were suspended.The isolation of a suspected Ebola case allowed some conclusions on the Institute's preparedness and procedures during the patient's hospitalization.The experience also raised some doubts, involving not only technical and scientific issues, but also the way society views the response to challenges posed by a disease with Ebola's characteristics.Some of these doubts are addressed here
