A medical facility in Berlin announced Saturday that an American doctor who received treatment for Ebola has been released from the hospital.<\/p>

The Charit\u00e9 hospital reported that no traces of the virus have been found in the patient since May 30. The doctor, who was previously identified by Serge Christian organization as medical missionary Peter Stafford, was brought to the facility on May 20 after becoming infected with Ebola while caring for patients in the Democratic Republic of Congo.<\/p>

Hospital officials said the patient’s Ebola symptoms “subsided significantly” following treatment that involved “combined antiviral therapy and additional supportive medical measures.”<\/p>

“We are very pleased with the successful course of treatment and consider this a significant therapeutic success,” stated Leif Erik Sander, a Charit\u00e9 official.<\/p>

The hospital also reported that five family members of the patient were placed in quarantine as high-risk contacts at Charit\u00e9, but none developed any signs of infection.<\/p>

According to the latest figures as of Friday, the ongoing outbreak in the DRC and Uganda has resulted in 82 confirmed Ebola fatalities.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
