For more than a month in 2015, a multidisciplinary team of clinicians treated a critically ill patient who had contracted Ebola virus disease in Sierra Leone. A new report by the medical caregivers details the clinical course of the 34-year-old American healthcare worker who was admitted to the NIH Special Clinical Studies Unit on day seven of his illness. The patient survived his illness with intensive supportive care, despite multi-organ failure.
