Two doctors, a nurse and a patient, infected with Ebola Virus Disease were today discharged from the quarantine unit of the Emergency Operation Centre (EOC), at the Mainland Hospital, Yaba, Lagos. The five Nigerians who recovered from the deadly virus have been discharged from quarantine.
The use of blood of survivors of a disease to vaccinate or treat others is not an uncommon practice in medicine and public health. It works from the logic that the survivors were able to generate antibodies that were stronger and able to withstand the assault of the pathogen.
