Dr. Kent Brantly Dr. Rick Sacra
Dr.
Kent Brantly, the US doctor who survived Ebola has donated a unit of
his blood to treat the third American aid worker Dr. Rick Sacra infected
with the virus as doctors fight to save the patient’s life. Brantly
flew to Nebraska last week to donate his blood to use to treat Dr. Rick
Sacra. Sacra is a close friend of Brantly from their missionary work.
Brantly
and fellow missionary Nancy Writebol were treated at Emory University
Hospital in Atlanta last month. They both got an experiment therapy
based on engineered antibodies called ZMapp, and Brantly also got a unit
of blood from an Ebola survivor. "Dr. Brantly is now immune to that
strain of Ebola," Franklin Graham the President and CEO of Samaritian’s
Purs said.
Last week the World Health Organization endorsed the use of serum to treat a new victim, saying it was worth trying. The idea is that survivors have antibodies to the virus in their blood, and those antibodies can kick-start the immune system of another patient.
