Summary

A Scottish nurse, Pauline Cafferkey, returned from Sierra Leone where she had been working with Save the Children. She was diagnosed with Ebola in Glasgow, transferred to the Royal Free Hospital in London, and survived. She had two subsequent relapses related to viral persistence.

Why this matters

Highlighted long-term persistence of Ebola virus in immune-privileged sites — a finding that reshaped post-survivor care.
