Abstract

From 2014 to May 2015, >26 000 Ebola virus disease (EVD) cases were reported from West Africa. We present a patient with EVD who received brincidofovir and convalescent plasma. The relative contributions of supportive care, investigational therapies, and patient's immune-response on survival could not be determined. Randomized trials are needed.
