Ebola nurse Pauline Cafferkey nearly died from meningitis, doctors say
Doctors say British nurse has long recovery ahead of her after suffering meningitis brought on by lingering Ebola infection
[snip]
Because of her history, they then tested her blood and found very low levels of the virus, the sort of levels you would see in patients that were about to recover.
Every step that followed from that was precautionary.
?We didn?t know what the trajectory was ? if the virus in the blood was heralding the fact that something was going to happen or was it just what we would call incidental because we have never seen anything like this before, we were not sure what was going to happen whether this was going to turn into full blown Ebola virus and let?s be absolutely clear about this, it did not,? said Jacobs.
