http://news.yahoo.com/nurse-cured-ebola-receiving-treatment-153103211.html A British army reservist who contracted Ebola while working as a volunteer nurse in Sierra Leone has fully recovered after becoming the first patient in the world to receive an experimental new treatment.
Anna Cross, 25, was discharged on Friday from the Royal Free Hospital in London where she was taken earlier this month after being evacuated from west Africa on a Royal Air Force (RAF) plane.
"She has completely recovered from Ebola, she is now free of the virus," her doctor, Michael Jacobs, said.
"Anna is the first patient in the world to have received a new special treatment for Ebola, MIL 77," he said, adding: "The treatment went very well, it caused no side effects that we could elicit."
He said the new treatment was produced in China and was similar to ZMapp, a cocktail of three antibodies that cling to the virus and inhibit its reproduction.
