The World Health Organization has declared the Ebola outbreak an international emergency after spreading to eastern Congo's biggest city, Goma, this week.The preliminary results of a clinical trial using drugs to treat Ebola in the Democratic Republic of Congo have been promising enough to stop the trial and prioritize their use instead.
The results are preliminary, said Anthony Fauci, a director with the National Institute of Health. About 30% people died if given the NIH or Regeneron drug, but when patients received treatment early, mortality was 6% with Regeneron and 11% with the NIH drug. About three-quarters of people who do not receive care for Ebola die, according to Michael Ryan of the World Health Organization.
The trial in the Congo was unprecedented, according to Nature, and tested multiple drugs in a conflict zone. The turmoil meant Ebola responders faced violent attacks that at times forced them to slow their efforts.
Ban Ebola and Ebola style diseases.
