The man developed fever and muscle aches after returning to
the United States on April 30.
He had been working at Ebola treatment centers as an
administrator, said Paul Skolnik, chief of medicine at the
University of Connecticut Health Center's Ebola Task Force.
Hospital officials said his symptoms were consistent with many
other diseases prevalent in Africa, including malaria, for which
the man will continue to receive treatment.
The man has not been identified.
Liberia was declared free from Ebola on May 9 after 42 days
without a new case, but cases continue in neighboring Guinea and
Sierra Leone.
More than 11,000 people have died from Ebola in the three West
African neighbors since the outbreak began in December 2013,
according to the World Health Organization.
