| Hello, Jeff - It appears the Scottish nurse who contract Ebola while
working in West Africa last year and who was given the all clear signal
has relapsed. This West African strain of Ebola seems to be the
gift that keeps on giving. As we discussed over the past year or so, there is something no right about this strain of Ebola, I believe it was mutated deliberately to remain in the organs and eyes. I do hope that the WHO and CDC is listening because they need to do close follow up on all of the "recovered?" Ebola victims. Recovered Ebola patients are ticking time bombs. Patty Scottish Ebola Nurse Re-Admitted To isolation Unit Months After Being Given All-Clear LONDON — A Scottish nurse who contracted the Ebola virus while working as an aid worker in Sierra Leone has been re-admitted to hospital months after she was discharged. Pauline Cafferkey, 39, who was working for Save the Children in Kerry Town when she contracted Ebola late last year, was transported from Glasgow to an isolation unit at the Royal Free Hospital in Hampstead where she is being treated for a complication in her recovery, BBC News reported. "We can confirm that Pauline Cafferkey was transferred from the Queen Elizabeth University hospital in Glasgow to the Royal Free London hospital in the early hours of this morning due to an unusual late complication of her previous infection by the Ebola virus," the hospital said Friday morning. “She will now be treated in isolation in the hospital’s high-level isolation unit under nationally agreed guidelines." Public Health England said she was transported in a military aircraft and that a small number of her close contacts will be contacted as a precaution, according to the Scotsman newspaper. Officials have reiterated that the risk to the public is very low. Since it first broke out in Guinea's forest region last year, Ebola has killed more than 11,200 people in West Africa. Earlier this week, the World Health Organization said there were no Ebola cases reported last week — the first time an entire week has passed without any new confirmed patients since the devastating outbreak began last March. The U.N. health agency said in a report issued Wednesday that all contacts of Ebola cases in Sierra Leone have now been followed for 21 days without falling sick, suggesting the country might soon be free of the disease. More than 500 people are being tracked in Guinea and WHO said there is "considerable risk" of further spread. Scientists have also lost track of where the virus was recently spreading. http://mashable.com/2015/10/09/pauline-cafferkey-ebola/?utm_cid=mash-com-Tw-main-link#Bd9veLfe6uq_ |
