◼ NBC cameraman: ‘I feel profoundly blessed to be alive’ after Ebola - Washington Post

"In the same breath," he added, he is "aware of the global inequalities that allowed me to be flown to an American hospital when so many Liberians die alone with minimal care. This circumstance weighs on my heart."

...They said that Mukpo had received a larger-than-usual transfusion of convalescent serum--blood plasma--from Kent Brantly, a missionary physician who contracted Ebola in July but recovered, and now has antibodies to the virus. Mukpo said the donation "played a pivotal role in my recovery." Mukpo also was given the anti-viral drug brincidofovir in pill form, rather than an intravenous therapy, because his illness was caught early enough that he could tolerate oral medication.

The CDC, officials said, is scrutinizing the blood of 15 people who have been treated with different drug regimens in an attempt to determine which therapies work and how quickly, because the tiny sample of recipients does not allow true research on the subject.
