The patient, who was not identified, was the third Ebola patient treated at Emory University, following Dr. Kent Brantly and Nancy Writebol. According to a hospital statement, the patient was discharged after being “determined to be free of virus and to pose no public health threat,” and asked to remain anonymous.
A fourth patient, Amber Vinson, who contracted Ebola while treating Thomas Eric Duncan — the first person to be diagnosed with Ebola in the United States — at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas, remains at Emory University Hospital. She arrived at Emory on Oct. 15.
