WHO- Ebola Survivors Blood To Be Used For Treatment by Graphene(m): 6:14pm On Sep 05, 2014 |
The blood of patients who recover from Ebola should be used to treat others, the World Health Organization has announced. West Africa is facing the largest Ebola outbreak in history and more than 1,900 people have died. A global group of experts have been meeting to assess the experimental therapies that could contain Ebola. The WHO also announced that Ebola vaccines could be used on the frontline by November. Dr Marie Paule Kieny, an assistant director general at WHO said: "We agreed that whole blood therapies may be used to treat Ebola virus and all efforts must be invested to help infected countries to use them. "There is a real opportunity that a blood derived product can be used now and this can be very effective in terms of treating patients." She said that it was the one positive point from so many people being infected. "There are also many people now who have survived and are doing well, they can provide blood to treat the other people who are sick." m.bbc.com/news/health-29084254?ocid=socialflow_twitter# 7 Likes 7 Shares |

Survivors of Ebola virus disease have been shown to have robust immunity to the disease including cell-mediated immunity. But it is not clear if they have cross-immunity to other strains of the virus. Using the blood of the survivors is a step in the right direction. Though the best therapy remains harvesting the antibodies from the blood of the survivors and use it in treatment of ebola patients. 21 Likes 5 Shares |

This could turn sour. W.H.O should investigate thoroughly oh. How many survivors are there? How much blood is needed to cure a person? Extracting blood from an individual to cure 'bout say 5persons, won't that result in blood shortage? There are many things to be considered o. #I rest my case 1 Like |
