Photo: Dallas nurse with Ebola has been identified

The Dallas nurse who contracted Ebola while treating Liberian Thomas Eric Duncan at the Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital, has been identified at 26 year old Nina Pham. Nina, according to report, was among over 50 staff of the hospital that cared for Duncan who later died on October 8th.

Nina is said to probably have had the closest contact with Duncan, she was his personal nurse and was in his room often. She and others who cared for Duncan wore protective gear, including gowns, gloves, masks and face shields, and sometimes full-body suits but that didn't help Nina. She's officially the first person to contract the disease within the US.

She's currently being treated at the same hospital. Yesterday, she received a blood transfusion from Ebola survivor, Dr Kent Brantly. Hopefully she will make it.

dis deadly disease again?

She is a citizen of the United states, so she would definitely make it. I strongly believe Duncan was allowed to die in order to discourage other africans infected with the disease to think they could jump on the airplane and move to the US for treatment.

its so sad, I pray she lives Nursing is a noble profession am a proud Nurse but I think Ebola can be transmitted through a minute means we've not discovered that explains how a Nurse could be infected even though she wore her protective clothing.... May God bless and reward all the health workers around the world this is a trying time for us all.

I STRONGLY BELIEVE THE FOURTH PERSON THAT COMMENTED. WAS GONNA SAY THE SAME THING. THEY JUST DID NOT PUT IN ENOUGH EFFORT TO ENSURE THE FORMER SURVIVED BUT NOW THEY WANT TO DONATE BLOOD FROM A SURVIVOUR TO THE LATTER.
