History
She spent a month at the Royal Free at the beginning of 2015 after the virus was detected when she arrived back in the UK.
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.
