British Ebola nurse Pauline Cafferkey admitted to hospital for third time

A 39-year-old Scottish nurse, who recovered from Ebola twice, was today admitted to a special isolation ward in a London hospital for a third time since her return to the United Kingdom after contracting with deadly virus in Sierra Leone in 2014.

Ebola nurse Pauline Cafferkey is back in hospital for the third time since contracting the disease in Sierra Leone.

At one point she was described as “critically ill” but the Royal Free later announced she had been discharged from its care and transferred to Glasgow’s Queen Elizabeth University Hospital to continue her recovery.

For the second time, a Scottish nurse who contracted Ebola 14 months ago has been hospitalized for a “late complication” from the original infection.

On Tuesday, the hospital said it would not publish updates on her condition to protect patient confidentiality.

Ms Cafferkey lives in Drumsagard Village, outside Cambuslang.

Wellness officials said she’d been under routine observation from the Infectious Diseases Unit but was now in hospital for additional investigations.

“She will now be treated by the hospital’s infectious diseases team under nationally-agreed guidelines”.

Scientists agree Ebola can remain undetected in body tissue for months after a person appears to have recovered fully.

Pauline Cafferkey, from South Lanarkshire in Scotland, was originally infected in December 2014 and spent nearly a month in an isolation unit at the Royal Free Hospital in London.

She managed to rebound, and weeks later she went home.

But last October, Cafferkey didn’t feel well and was admitted to Queen Elizabeth University Hospital.

Dr. Derek Gatherer, a biomedical and life sciences lecturer at Lancaster University, also told The Guardian it was clear Ebola was a more complex disease than previously thought, with the most serious complication for survivors being meningitis.

Thanks to experimental drugs, she was able to make a second recovery, and once more, the virus seemed to have completely disappeared from her system.

The WHO declared the Ebola outbreak over past year after the deaths of thousands of people but two new cases emerged in Sierra Leone in January.
