Experimental Ebola Drug Given To 'Improving' US Aid Workers

US aid workers who contracted Ebola in Liberia appear to be improving after receiving an experimental drug, officials have said. BBC reports.

But it is not clear if the ZMapp drug, which has only been tested on monkeys, can be credited with their improvement.

Dr Kent Brantly was flown home for treatment on Saturday and his colleague Nancy Writebol left Liberia in the early hours of Tuesday.
