The Hague (AFP) - A Nigerian UN peacekeeper infected with
Ebola and brought to the Netherlands for treatment has
been cured, the Dutch authorities said on Friday.
"The Nigerian patient who was admitted on December 6 has
been cured of Ebola," the Dutch public health institute RIVM
said in a statement.
The soldier was infected while working as a peacekeeper
battling the deadly disease in Liberia.
He was flown to the Netherlands at the request of the World
Health Organisation in a specially equipped plane and
treated at the university hospital in central city Utrecht.
He was the first Ebola patient to be treated in the
Netherlands and will stay at a military hospital until he can
return home, the RIVM said.
Ebola has killed more than 6,900 people, almost all of them
in west Africa.
Liberia tops the number of fatalities at 3,290 deaths but
Sierra Leone earlier this month overtook it as the country
with the most infections.

'Doctors initially thought it was a feeding issue. When we came home she just wanted to sleep... she wasn't a crying baby.'But Eloise lost almost a kilo in the week after her birth and her health started to deteriorate quickly.
'It all happened so quickly, like within hours. She was in the hospital and we thought she was fine, then that night we were told she might not survive the night.'
'I was shocked. I was devastated to know she was born healthy and then this happened. They thought it could have come from me, but I didn't test positive to the disease. It was passed on through a cold sore. You have to be in contact – kissed or touched. We didn't have any visitors at hospital. It could have been from anyone.'
'Eloise had a very large legion on her brain, her organs had shut down and they couldn't be sure how she would recover again. She fought right until the end. Five times in one week I was told she wouldn't have made it. Every time she would pull through. She defied the odds. She put up a very good fight.Ms Pugh hopes Eloise's death will help others to be more aware of the herpes virus and how it can effect newborn babies. She said:
'Sometimes you don't even know when you've got a cold sore. You never know what's going to happen. It's not just cold sores. Any virus could do this to a baby.'
