3rd time unlucky todays papers are saying Pauline Cafferkey is unwell again and showing signs of Ebola for the 3rd time. Quote "An NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde spokesman said: 'Under routine monitoring by the Infectious Diseases Unit, Pauline Cafferkey has been admitted to hospital for further investigations.' 'To protect patient confidentiality, we will not be publishing regular updates on this patient's condition.' 'She is unwell and showing signs that the virus may have returned for the 3rd time. 'Further tests have been carried out and Pauline is being treated as if she has Ebola again.'

The nurse was later discharged after apparently making a full recovery, and in March returned to work as a public health nurse at Blantyre Health Centre in South Lanarkshire. In October last year it was discovered that Ebola was still present in her body, with health officials later confirming she had been diagnosed with meningitis caused by reactivation of the virus hidden in her CNS. Today is once again being treated for ebola but details are at present sparse.
