Scottish nurse Pauline Cafferkey treated for Ebola 'complication'
A Scottish nurse who contracted Ebola in Sierra Leone has been readmitted to an isolation unit in London following an "unusual late complication", according to the BBC.
NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde confirmed that the virus is present in Pauline Cafferkey but said it was left over from the original infection.
It is not thought to be contagious.
The 39-year-old, from Cambuslang, South Lanarkshire, has been flown back the isolation unit at the Royal Free Hospital in London.
Ms Cafferkey spent almost a month in the unit at the beginning of the year after contracting the virus in December 2014.
NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde said she had been admitted to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow on Tuesday after feeling unwell and was treated in the infectious diseases unit.
She was transferred from Glasgow to the Royal Free Hospital in the early hours of the morning due to an unusual late complication in her illness.
