An Italian doctor who contracted Ebola in Sierra Leone has been cured of the disease and released from hospital.
50-year-old Fabrizio Pulvirenti arrived in Rome on November 25 and was treated at the Lazzaro Spallanzani Hospital.
Speaking about his experience with the disease, Pulvirenti told journalists:
“For the first few days, partly to keep my mind active, I tried to examine every symptom I was experiencing scientifically.”
“Then
there came a moment when I lost consciousness of what was going on
around me and I don't remember anything that happened for about two
weeks,” he added.
The doctor also stated that
he would likely return to Sierra Leone to continue treating Ebola
patients after he regains his strength.
The
current outbreak, which is the worst ever recorded, has now killed
almost 8,000 people according to the World Health Organization.
