A British man who complained of ebola-like symptoms before he died in Macedonia did not have the disease, according to tests.
"The patient did not have the ebola virus," Macedonian health ministry spokeswoman Jovanka Kostovska said.
Thirty-five people quarantined after they were believed to have come into contact with him were expected to now be released.
Zvonko Milenkovic, the director of Skopje's clinic for infectious diseases, said an autopsy will be carried out. The tests for ebola were carried out at a German laboratory.
Meanwhile, an ebola test run on a man in Brazil suspected to have contracted the virus has come back negative.
Despite the result, Brazilian health minister Arthur Chioro said a second test would be conducted before the patient was released from isolation.
"Now we are waiting until tomorrow (Sunday) morning to do another test of which we should have a result for on Monday for this second test," he said.
"From a practical point of view having the first test come back negative can't disrupt our surveillance activities of the patient."
