UK Nurse Suffering from Ebola in Critical Condition
UK Nurse Suffering from Ebola in Critical Condition – The condition of a British nurse being treated for Ebola in a London hospital is critical after deteriorating over the last two days.
The Royal Free Hospital has been treating Pauline Cafferkey with blood plasma from an Ebola survivor and an experimental anti-viral drug. She was diagnosed with the disease last week after returning to Britain late on Dec. 28 from Sierra Leone, where she had been working.
Cafferkey is the first person to have been diagnosed with Ebola in Britain. The Royal Free, Britain’s main center for Ebola cases, successfully treated British aid worker William Pooley with the experimental drug ZMapp after he was flown back to Britain in August.
The hospital has not specified which drug Cafferkey is being treated with, but said no supplies of ZMapp were available.
