  "account": "NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — Seven individuals have contracted Ebola in Kenya, including three health workers who treated the country's initial case, announced the Health Ministry on Saturday. The first patient, who arrived from Congo, succumbed to the disease on October 5 after the outbreak killed over 4,300 people in the neighboring country. The initial patient's four new infections and a second person in quarantine have raised Kenya's total cases to seven. The patients are currently in isolation and receiving medical attention.",
