Oh no what is really happening, After so much precautions being carried by this hospital,A second Texas healthcare worker who
treated the first patient in the United States to be diagnosed with
Ebola has tested positive for the disease, the Texas Department of State Health
Services said in a statement on Wednesday.
The worker at Texas
Health Presbyterian
Hospital, who cared for
Thomas Eric Duncan, was immediately isolated after reporting a fever on
Tuesday, the department said.
"Health officials have interviewed the latest patient to quickly
identify any contacts or potential exposures, and those people will be
monitored," the department said.Meanwhile Dr Brantly has donated blood to Ebola
victims after medics discovered he had the same blood type as previous patient
Dr Nick Sacra and NBC cameraman Ashoka Mukpo, who is still being treated.
Incredibly, nurse Nina Pham, 26 the first health worker in Texas to have contracted the deadly virus has also matched with
Brantly and yesterday received a transfusion of his blood in a move that doctors
believe could save her life.
Pham has been in quarantine since Friday after catching the disease from 'patient zero' Thomas Eric Duncan - the man who brought the deadly virus to America. Today, Pham's condition was described as 'clinically stable'. Those who have survived Ebola have antibodies in their blood which can help new sufferers beat the disease. Dr. Brantly had offered his blood to Thomas Eric Duncan but their blood types didn't match
