Well, good tuesday morning. Right now the second american infected with ebola is on her way to the united states. Yes, Nancy Writebols journey from west africa will end in just a few hours when she arrives in atlanta. Shell be the second patient treated at Emory University hospital for the deadly virus thats killed nearly 900 people. Abcs Tahman Bradley has the latest. Reporter this morning, doctors are fighting to save the lives of two americans infected with ebola. Nancy writebol is said to be improving after receiving a dose of an experimental drug. The 59yearold missionary from charlotte was in liberia helping to decontaminate doctors and got sick. She was eating a little bit, able to take in fluid, so, you know, were cautiously optimistic. Reporter according to the president of writebols missionary group, nancys condition has improved enough to make special requests. She asked for her favorite liberian meal of potato soup and coffee. Reporter 33yearold dr. Kent brantly, who arrived in the u. S. On saturday in a full biosuit, is also taking the experimental drug, and weve learned his fever is lower. Its not clear if the experimental treatment is the reason the americans are improving. Ebola has already killed almost 900 people in three african countries. Only 44 of patients survive. The scare has u. S. Health officials on alert. At new yorks mt. Sinai hospital a male patient who had recently traveled to west africa was treated for fever and gastrointestinal problems. The man was placed in isolation, but initial tests show its unlikely he has ebola. The first thing wed like to stress is that odds are this is not ebola. Its much more likely that its a much more common condition. Reporter the cdc told u. S. Doctors to ask about foreign travel by patients showing ebolalike symptoms. At least three people in the u. S. Have tested negative for the disease. Reena and devin. Tahman bradley live for us in washington. Thank you, tahman. Well, both dr. Brantly and Nancy Writebol took that experimental drug, which has never been tested on humans. Earlier this morning, we asked dan childs, managing editor of the abc news medical unit, whats in the drug and how it works. Well, what we know is that this drug contains proteins called antibodies. Now, these things actually target the ebola virus and actually attack it directly. So far this drug has only been tested in animals, so we really dont know exactly how its going to happen in terms of the treatment of humans. People are going to be watching this very closely because this is something that just hasnt been done before. And stay with abc news as we cover the ebola crisis. Look for our live updates later on good morning america. Well, after nearly a month of fighting, israel and hamas have agreed to yet another temporary ceasefire. The threeday truce went into effect overnight just as israel announced that all of its Ground Troops had been pulled from gaza.
