Nurse who had Ebola hospitalized again

For the second time, a Scottish nurse who contracted Ebola 14 months ago has been hospitalized for a "late complication" from the original infection.

Pauline Cafferkey has been admitted to London's Royal Free Hospital "due to a late complication from her previous infection by the Ebola virus," the hospital said Tuesday.
The hospital did not specify when she was admitted. But the nurse "will be treated by the hospital's infectious diseases team under nationally agreed guidelines," it said.
The hospital also did not say what the complication was.

Cafferkey contracted Ebola while working in Sierra Leone in December 2014.
