An American nurse who was exposed to Ebola while volunteering in an Ebola treatment unit in Sierra Leone will be admitted to the National Institutes of Health’s Clinical Center in Maryland on Thursday, NIH announced.
This could be because it launched early, our rights have expired, there was a legal issue, or for another reason.
The center is one of 35 designated as an Ebola treatment center earlier this month by the US government; it previously treated a nurse who contracted Ebola in Texas.
NIH did not release any further information on the new patient, including his or her affiliation, current medical condition, and when he or she might have been exposed to the virus.

The patient will be admitted “for observation and to enroll in a clinical protocol”, NIH said in a statement.
The clinical studies unit is designed to provide high-level isolation capabilities and is staffed by infectious disease and critical care specialists.
