Ebola nurse Pauline Cafferkey's condition 'has improved' | |
(35 minutes later) | |
The condition of a Scottish nurse who contracted Ebola while working in West Africa has improved, according to the hospital where she is being treated. | |
Pauline Cafferkey was readmitted to a specialist isolation unit at the Royal Free Hospital in London this month. | |
She was being treated for complications after tests showed the infection was still present in her system. | |
Last week her condition was described as "critical", but the hospital said she was now "serious but stable". | |
Ms Cafferkey, 39, from Cambuslang in South Lanarkshire, contracted Ebola while working at a treatment centre in Sierra Leone last year. | |
She spent almost a month in isolation at the Royal Free at the beginning of the year after the virus was detected when she arrived back in the UK. |
