PRO/AH/EDR> Ebola update (54): neonatal survival after monoclonal antibody treatment, 2019

Ebola — DR Congo
Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontiéres’ (MSF) case studies published in The Lancet this month [see [2] below] examine the 1st 2 Ebola-negative babies ever known to be born to Ebola-positive mothers. Both the mothers and babies received trial Ebola treatments while in an MSF-supported Ebola treatment center (ETC) in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Historically, nearly all babies born to Ebola-positive mothers have been miscarried or stillborn, or died shortly after birth.
