Wamarekani waliougua Ebola wapona

[Deshbhakt]

The two US aid workers infected with the Ebola virus in Liberia have recovered and have been discharged from hospital, medical officials have said.

Dr Kent Brantly, 33, thanked supporters for their prayers at a news conference in Atlanta. Nancy Writebol, 59, was discharged on Tuesday.

The two were brought to the US for treatment three weeks ago.

The outbreak has killed more than 1,300 people in West Africa, with many of the deaths occurring in Liberia.


'Not on radar'

"Today is a miraculous day," said Dr Brantly, who appeared healthy if pallid as he addressed reporters on Thursday at Emory University hospital.

"I am thrilled to be alive, to be well, and to be reunited with my family. As a medical missionary, I never imagined myself in this position."

He said Ebola "was not on the radar" when he and his family moved to Liberia in October.

After his family returned to the US as the Ebola outbreak tore through West Africa, he continued to treat Ebola patients and woke up on 23 July feeling "under the weather".

Dr Brantly said he lay in bed for nine days, getting progressively sicker and weaker. On 1 August, he was flown to Atlanta for treatment at Emory.

Emory infectious disease specialist Dr Bruce Ribner said after rigorous treatment and testing officials were confident Dr Brantly had recovered "and he can return to his family, his community and his life without public health concerns".

The group for which he was working in Liberia, Samaritan's Purse, said they were celebrating his recovery.

"Today I join all of our Samaritan's Purse team around the world in giving thanks to God as we celebrate Dr Kent Brantly's recovery from Ebola and release from the hospital," Franklin Graham said in a statement.

Riots in Liberia
Nancy Writebol's husband David said in a statement that she was free of the virus but was significantly weakened.

The family decided to leave the hospital privately in order to allow her to rest and recuperate.

Meanwhile, South Africa on Thursday said non-citizens arriving from Ebola-affected areas of West Africa - the countries of Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone - would not be allowed into the country.

And police in Liberia's capital, Monrovia, fired live rounds and tear gas during protests after a quarantine was imposed to contain the spread of the deadly virus.

Residents of the capital's West Point slum area said the barbed wire blockade stops them buying food and working.

There is no cure for Ebola, one of the deadliest diseases known to humans, with a fatality rate in this outbreak of 50-60%.

But both Dr Brantly and Mrs Writebol received an experimental treatment known as ZMapp.

The drug, which has only been made in extremely limited qualities, had never been tested on humans and it remains unclear if it is responsible for their recovery.

ZMapp was also given to a Spanish priest, who died, and three Liberian health workers, who are showing signs of improvement.

ATLANTA-Two American missionaries who contracted Ebola in Liberia have recovered from the deadly illness and been discharged, Emory University Hospital officials said Thursday.

Smiling broadly as he appeared at a hospital news conference and looking as fit as he had in photos taken before he became ill, Kent Brantly said he was grateful to have survived a disease that kills the majority of those infected.

"I am thrilled to be alive, to be well, and to be reunited with my family," said Dr. Brantly, a 33- year-old medical missionary from Fort Worth, Tex.

Dr. Brantly and Nancy Writebol, 59 years old, spent more than two weeks in a special isolation unit at the hospital after a medical evacuation from Liberia by the two Christian charities for whom they worked. Mrs. Writebol was discharged and quietly left the hospital Tuesday, officials said Thursday.

The patients, who contracted the disease while working at the same hospital in Liberia, no longer have symptoms and don't have traces of the deadly virus in their blood, said Bruce Ribner, who heads the isolation unit where they were treated.

"There is no evidence of Ebola virus infection in their bodies," he said. They pose "no public health threat." Recovered Ebola patients generally "are not contagious, they don't as a general rule relapse, and they don't spread the virus to anyone else."

Moreover, they are immune to the strain of Ebola virus that infected them, Dr. Ribner said-a strain that caused an outbreak that has infected at least 2,473 people in Guinea, Liberia, Sierra Leone and Nigeria, killing 1,350 of them.

The two were discharged by Emory after consultation with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and state health officials in Georgia and North Carolina, Dr. Ribner said.

The bearded Dr. Brantly, wearing khaki pants and a blue shirt with the logo of Samaritan's Purse, the charity he works for, appeared healthy as he addressed journalists, with his wife Amber by his side. He choked up at times while thanking his medical team and the charity.

He then hugged the roughly 30 people from his treatment team, including doctors, nurses and support staff, conveying that he was no longer infectious. Many recovered Ebola patients in West Africa are shunned. "God saved my life, the direct answer to thousands and thousands of prayers," he said.

Dr. Brantly said he would be going away with his family for a while to recover. Mrs. Writebol already is with her husband at an undisclosed location, said SIM USA, the Christian charity where she worked.

In a statement issued Thursday, her husband, David Writebol said,"The lingering effects of the battle have left her in a significantly weakened condition. Thus, we decided it would be best to leave the hospital privately to be able to give her the rest and recuperation she needs at this time."

While in treatment in Liberia, the two Americans received an experimental drug, called ZMapp, which is made by San Diego-based Mapp Biopharmaceutical Inc. and had never been tested in humans. On Thursday, Dr. Ribner said it's impossible to know what the effect of the drug was on the two.

"Frankly we do not know whether it helped them, whether it made no difference, or even theoretically if it delayed their recovery," Dr. Ribner said.
"There is a crying need for research on these agents," he said.Three doctors in Liberia have been given the same drug, and all are responding, said Director of Social Welfare John Sumo at the Ministry of Health. He didn't know if or how those doctors were being monitored for research purposes.

On its website, Mapp says that the combination of antibodies that make up ZMapp were identified only last January, and that "larger trials are necessary to determine whether ZMapp is safe and effective." The company declined to comment on its use on the American and Liberian patients.

Dr. Ribner said the Emory medical team learned several things in treating the two Americans, particularly involving replacing fluid and electrolytes in sick patients, and is writing guidelines for practitioners in Africa.
