A British nurse, Pauline Cafferkey, who is being treated for Ebola at London's Royal Free hospital, is in a critical but stable condition, reported Britain's health minister. The nurse contracted the disease while working as a volunteer with the charity 'Save the Children' in Kerry Town, not far from Sierra Leone's capital Freetown.
Health Minister Jeremy Hunt said, "As has been reported, Pauline's condition has deteriorated to a critical state although she stabilized yesterday and continues to receive the best possible care."
Doctors treating the Scottish nurse said that she would be treated with blood plasma from an Ebola survivor containing virus-fighting antibodies as well as an experimental anti-viral drug.
