“CNN reported that Dr. Craig Spencer, who tested positive for the virus on Thursday, received a blood transfusion from Nancy Writebol, an aid worker who contracted the disease in Africa, but survived.
Bellevue hospital in Manhattan, where Spencer is being held in isolation for treatment, said that he received the transfusion on Friday, the network reported.”
Positive results on Thursday, blood transfusion on Friday. This must be working, else they wouldn’t have quickly gotten her blood to him.
Kaci Hickox, the New Jersey nurse, tested negative for Ebola, but someone pointed out that you can get false negatives (as Kent Brantly did) because the tests are not sensitive enough to pick up Ebola until the disease gets farther along (at least six days). I’m hoping she won’t test positive, but just because she initially tested negative doesn’t mean she will continue to.
