US health officials are attempting to track down passengers who shared a flight with the second nurse diagnosed with ebola.
Amber Vinson, 29, was on board Frontier Airlines flight 1143 from Cleveland, Ohio, to Dallas-Fort Worth on 13 October, a day before she fell ill.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said it was working to make contact with all 132 passengers on board the flight.
The plane's crew said Miss Vinson did not exhibit any symptoms of ebola during the flight on Monday.
She was put in isolation at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas on Tuesday after developing a fever.
Miss Vinson is the second health worker to contract ebola after treating Thomas Eric Duncan, a Liberian national who succumbed to the virus on 8 October.
Nina Pham, a 26-year-old nurse at Texas Health Presbyterian is also in isolation at the hospital, and is said to be in stable condition after receiving a plasma transfusion donated by ebola survivor Dr Kent Brantley.
Earlier on Tuesday, a nursing union claimed that health workers treating Mr Duncan had to use medical tape to secure openings in their protective outfits
