An American doctor, who contracted Ebola in the Democratic Republic of Congo, has responded well to treatment and stabilised, the Berlin hospital treating him said Wednesday. Medical missionary Dr Peter Stafford was flown to Germany for treatment last week after being infected with the Bundibugyo strain of the Ebola virus during the current deadly outbreak there.
"The patient was intially very weakened and displayed typical symptoms of an Ebola infection," Dr Leif Erik Sander, the medical director of the Charite hospital's Department of Infectious Diseases, told reporters.
