Spanish nurse with Ebola beats virus, test shows

AKIPRESS.COM - virus Spanish nurse Teresa Romero tested negative for Ebola on Sunday after undergoing two weeks of treatment, amid accusations that the Spanish government had botched the initial response to her infection, according to media reports.

Romero will have to undergo a second test before being officially declared virus free. She remains quarantined at Carlos III hospital in Madrid.

"I am very happy today, because we can now say that Teresa has vanquished the disease," her husband Limon said in a video recorded at his hospital bed. Although Limon hasn't tested positive for Ebola, he too remains under quarantine.

Romero was treated with blood plasma from people infected with Ebola. The Spanish government has declined to provide further information, respecting Romero's request not to publish details about her treatment.
