The Texas nurse who got infected by
Thomas Duncan has received a life saving blood transfusion from Dr.Kent
Brantly ,the first person to be treated of Ebola.
Nina Pham, 26, became the first
person known to contract the disease in the USA.She tested positive on Friday
and according to AP,by evening, she had received a transfusion of plasma from
Kent Brantly,because they say their blood type matched .She is now said to be
clinically stable ..
This is the third time Brantly is
donating blood.The NBC cameraman who is under treatment also got the
transfusion.Those who have survived Ebola have anti bodies in their blood which
can help new sufferers beat the disease..
Liberian, Thomas Duncan reportedly
didn’t get the blood transfusion because their blood didn’t
match and he didn’t get Zimmap either because they say it was out of stock.
