KAMPALA (Reuters) - An outbreak of the deadly Marburg virus in Uganda has spread to the capital Kampala after an infected woman travelled to the city and the death toll from the disease, a cousin of Ebola, climbed to five, a health official said on Monday.

The latest outbreak of another hemorrhagic fever, first confirmed on Friday in Kabale district, 430 km (270 miles) southwest of Kampala, has rattled a country that only two weeks ago declared itself free of Ebola after it claimed at least 16 lives.

There is no vaccine or specific treatment for the Marburg virus, also known as Marburg hemorrhagic fever, which is transmitted through bodily fluids such as saliva and blood, or by handling infected wild animals such as monkeys.

"We have one case confirmed in Mulago Hospital while the number of the dead is now five," Rukia Nakamatte, spokesperson for the ministry of health told Reuters on Monday.

"Thirty -four contacts (people are) being monitored and an isolation facility is being set up."

A health official told Reuters on Monday that the woman at Mulago, the country's largest referral hospital, had travelled to Kampala about five days ago and is a member of a family in Kabale which lost three people.

Health investigators have yet to determined the origin of the latest Marburg infection but Uganda's director general of health services, Dr. Ruth Aceng, said on Friday that outbreaks of hemorrhagic fevers in Uganda tend to occur between June and September.

This is the period when villagers who go into the wild to collect fruit are likely to come into contact with wild animals such as fruit bats, a natural vector for the Marbug virus.

Elly Matte, a police spokesperson in Kabale, said people were alarmed about the viral outbreak. "We... might impose a quarantine if the situation worsens," he said.

Ugandan Health officials, as preventative measures, have urged people to avoid public gatherings and bodily contact. The World Health Organization has deployed a team to the district to support the outbreak investigation and response.

MANILA, Philippines - A lawyer of former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo fired off a gay slur against Press Undersecretary Manuel Quezon III on Twitter, calling him a "faggot".

"Manuel Quezon III is a faggot of the worst kind," Ferdinand Topacio said on his Twitter account.

Interviewed by InterAksyon.com, Topacio said he was standing by his statement and refused to take the tweet down.

"Eh, hindi ba totoo yun? I used faggot not in the sense of his sexual orientation, I meant it in regards to his personality as a spineless person, Topacio said.

The lawyer said his tweet was in response to his being described as a Hitler-lover in a blog by Quezon.

In a February 22 blog post, "The Seventh Charge: The Story of the Great Escape," Quezon mentioned Topacio while discussing the foiled attempt of Arroyo and her husband, Jose Miguel, to leave the country, ostensibly to seek treatment for the former president.

Quezon wrote: The Arroyos had, on the surface, complied with the conditions imposed by the Supreme Court: theyd posted a 2 million peso bond, and given their lawyer, Hitler-loving Ferdinand Topacio, a special power of attorney.

Topacio said: "I'm a student of Hitler's life. I do not idolize him."

QHow can I convert some Word documents into an e-book to download and use on my iPad?

AYou can do it several ways, including buying a word-processing app for the iPad that opens Microsoft Word files. Apples Pages or DataVizs Documents to Go are two of the many options in the App Store. If you want to view the documents and not edit them, uploading them to a free Google Drive or Microsoft SkyDrive account online is another way to go and both sites have free apps for tapping into your online files if you dont want to use the iPads Web browser.

If you prefer to keep things between your iPad and computer, combining the files into one and converting the Word document to a format that works with the iBooks app (or other e-book app) is another method. Most apps can display files in the ePub or PDF formats, and it is not too difficult to convert a Word document to either. Microsoft has instructions for Windows users with Word 2007 and later at bit.ly/rm7QBf. Mac OS X users can open each document, press Command-P to summon the Print box and choose Save as PDF from the PDF menu.

Saving the documents as ePub files lets them function more like e-books, with the ability to adjust text size and font. An e-book utility program to convert Word documents to ePub files can do the job; Calibre is one such program and has instructions at bit.ly/STwVoU.

Once you convert the files, you need to sync them to iBooks or your e-reader app. Apple has instructions for syncing content at support.apple.com/kb/HT1296 and PDFs in particular at support.apple.com/kb/HT4227.
