WHO recommends two monoclonal antibody medications to treat Ebola
Fox News
The World Health Organization (WHO) is now recommending two monoclonal antibody drugs for treating Ebola, hopefully dramatically lowing mortality rates for those infected.
"Advances in supportive care and therapeutics over the past decade have revolutionized the treatment of Ebola. Ebola virus disease used to be perceived as a near certain killer. However, that is no longer the case," said Robert Fowler, a professor at the University of Toronto, Canada, and co-chair of WHO's guideline development group. Effective care and the use of these treatments now leads to the recovery of the "vast majority" of people from Ebola, he said, without giving specific data.
