Spanish health authorities said on Sunday there were signs of hope for a nurse infected with Ebola in Madrid as the levels of the virus in her body were diminishing, though they also said she remained in serious condition.
Teresa Romero, 44, became the first known person to become infected with Ebola outside Africa during the current outbreak after she cared for two infected priests repatriated to Spain for treatment. The priests later died.
"The patient appears to be in a stable condition. ... There are some signs that could give us cause for some hope," Fernando Simon, a high level official at Spain's Health Ministry, told a news conference.
