Ebola nurse Pauline Cafferkey now fighting for her life as her condition deteriorates.
The Scottish nurse was admitted to the care of experts at London’s Royal Free Hospital last week after falling unwell.
She contracted Ebola during aid work in Sierra Leone and was diagnosed in December after returning to Glasgow via London.
The 39-year-old spent almost a month in an isolation unit at the Royal Free before being discharged in late January.
But doctors last week discovered the disease was still in her body.
And the hospital said her condition had worsened.
A statement said: “We are sad to announce that Pauline Cafferkey’s condition has deteriorated and she is now critically ill.
“She is being treated for Ebola in the high level isolation unit.”
Ms Cafferkey’s family have claimed doctors “missed a big opportunity” to spot she had fallen ill with Ebola again.
