EBOLA: Ebola Survivor In U.S Readmitted to Hospital and Put in Isolation 2weeks After

The US is really fighting Ebola outbreak in her country ,The third US patient, Dr. Rick Sacra, to be treated for
Ebola on American soil has been isolated again in
hospital after suffering a persistent cough and fever.



DailyMail reports that Dr Rick Sacra, 51, who contracted
the deadly virus while working in Liberia was readmitted
to UMass Memorial Medical Center in Worcester,
Massachusetts, two weeks after he was cleared.

He was
treated at the University of Nebraska Medical Center for
the infection last month and was released.
Doctors are said to be performing tests on him to make
sure Ebola has not returned, however they claim he has
not relapsed - also stressing that the public should not
be concerned.
Medical Director Dr Phil Smith told WCVB:
'Even though the likelihood of Dr. Sacra having a
relapse of Ebola is extremely low, doctors will run tests
to be 100 percent sure. Because of his recent battle
with the Ebola virus, his immune system is
compromised.

The symptoms he has are indicative of a
respiratory illness and are not those of someone
suffering from Ebola,' he added.
At the end of September, following his release from
hospital, Dr Sacra had told reporters he wanted to return
to the disease-ravaged areas to help fight the outbreak.


'The odds of my ending up back there are pretty high. I
don't have any specific plans, but that's where my
heart is. 'It's heartbreaking for me to see Liberians
suffering from Ebola and other diseases right now.'


The world is currently experiencing its worst outbreak of
Ebola in history, with the disease killing nearly 3,000
people in West Africa during the past six months.
