cafferkey Pauline Cafferkey temp error meningitis Lied about her (elevated) temperature when flying back to Britain, came down with Ebola symptoms 4 days later. cross Anna Cross - British nurse cured of Ebola credits new drug - and strawberries Corporal Anna Cross is declared free of the deadly virus after choosing to be given the drug MIL 77 at the Royal Free Hospital "Back in Britain, the decision to try MIL 77 was not difficult. “I said ‘I have Ebola, so, yes, I’d rather have that than high-dose vitamin C,’” she said. She thanked her doctor, Mike Jacobs, an infectious disease consultant, and her team of clinicians, adding: “Thanks to them I’m alive”. Cpl Cross joined the Army reserves in 2013 and now plans to return to “military fitness”. She would have no qualms about going back to treat more Ebola patients, but does not think it is likely since the virus now appears to be under control." If the "new drug" works so well why does the Doctor also specify Hi-dose C ? There is not an Ebola care guide in the world that specifies this. MIL-77 has a track record of working 25-75% of the time when tested on monkeys, it's never been tested on humans despite both being amongt the very few animals that can catch the disease (antelope and some rodents are the others). "Cpl Cross, who normally works as an intensive care nurse at Addenbroke’s Hospital in Cambridge, volunteered to care for Ebola patients in Sierra Leone, but had only been in the country for a month when she fell ill. She had been working at the same British-run clinic where Pauline Cafferkey, a Scottish nurse, also contracted the virus. She was evacuated to Britain on an RAF plane on March 12 a fortnight ago and was taken to hospital with a police escort. She is only the third Briton to contract the disease: Ms Cafferkey and Will Pooley, also a nurse, were also successfully treated at the Royal Free. Wearing her military uniform, she told how she lost 22 pounds (10kg) during her treatment and cried when she learnt she was free of the virus. She described how painful it had been to walk again for the first time after being confined to a bed for a week, when she was sustained by David Attenborough documentaries."

pooley Search for Ebola cure goes on as remedy based on survivors' blood underwhelms "Hopes that the blood of Ebola survivors might contain a ready-made cure for the virus have been dashed after the world’s largest study of the treatment showed it did not save extra lives. European scientists had hoped that plasma extracted from the blood of recovered patients might prove to be a therapy for future outbreaks of the disease because of the high levels of antibodies that remain in the plasma beyond recovery. The treatment has been used experimentally on patients from the UK and US including the British nurse Pauline Cafferkey and Ian Crozier, an American doctor. But a study of 84 patients treated with survivor’s plasma at a Médicins Sans Frontières treatment centre in Guinea in 2015 showed that the method “did not significantly improve the survival chances of Ebola patients”." "The study also allowed researchers to build one of several banks of blood taken from survivors of Ebola, which killed more than 11,000 people in west Africa." duncan Thomas Eric Duncan Yahoo News October 8, 2014 DALLAS — The first person to be diagnosed with Ebola in the United States died early Wednesday, officials with Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital announced.
