The Foreign Office is investigating reports that a British man has died from ebola in Macedonia.
A second Briton has shown symptoms of the deadly virus, a senior Macedonian government official told Reuters.
The news came as the Government said passengers arriving at Heathrow and Gatwick airports and Eurostar train terminals are to be screened for signs of the disease.
Calls for testing have increased over fears Britain could soon have its first cases of the deadly virus, which has so far killed more than 3,800 people in West Africa.
The Government, which previously said checks would be impractical and ineffective, announced "enhanced screening" for travellers arriving from Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea.
The tests will involve assessing their recent travel history, who they have been in contact with, and a possible medical assessment.
