Having already tested positive for malaria, a blood sample will confirm if they also have contracted Ebola.
The BBC understands the patient has been in the Royal Victoria Hospital's special isolation unit since Friday.
In line with national guidelines, nursing staff are wearing protective clothing while caring for the patient.
These people travelling to these countries and then coming home without isolating themselves are incredibly selfish. They think that because they're helping poor Africans they are saints, yet they come home - like that Doctor in New York - and selfishly go about meeting their friends, family & the general public despite the huge risks in treating Ebola patients.
Thoughts?
