"The young man… who had symptoms… is not suffering from Ebola. That is what the result of tests shows", a representative from Uppsala University Hospital, about 70 kilometres (45 miles) north of Stockholm, stated.
The tests conducted by the medical staff have also shown that the man is not suffering from Yellow Fever, Dengue Fever, Marburg or Rift Valley Fever, according to The Local.
The Local reported that health officials earlier stated that it was "still only a matter of suspicion, other diseases are also entirely possible" and after the test results came in late on 4 December, it was found the man was not carrying the virus.
