Dr. Kent Brantly, 33 was infected in Liberia
Repost from Japan Times
Two American doctors working in Liberia vs ebola virus and who had been infected were flown in to US in specially designed plane and have been confined in special isolation unit in Atlanta's Emory University Hospital. The two are Dr. Nancy Writebol, 59 and Dr. Kent Brantly 33 Both are recovering . Dr Nancy can now walk.
They are being given doses of Zmapp made by Mapp Pharmaceutical and this comes from tissues of animals exposed to ebola. It boost antibodies of patients suffering from Ebola infection (basic principle of vaccine
Dr Nancy was said to have been injected plasma from a 14 year old patient who recovered. (Same thing we saw in movie outbreak)
Ebola is fearsome because there is no known cure vaccine vs the disease. This could be the hope..
Special plane transported the Americans infected with Ebola virus.
