'Young miracle:' Baby recovers from Ebola in Congo outbreak
JOHANNESBURG (AP) — They call her the "young miracle." A baby who was admitted to an Ebola treatment center just six days after birth has now recovered from the virus.
Congo's health ministry calls the baby the youngest survivor in what is now the world's second-deadliest Ebola outbreak.
The ministry late Thursday tweeted a photo of the infant, swaddled and with tiny mouth open in yawn or squall, surrounded by caregivers who watched over her 24 hours a day for weeks.
The baby's mother, who had Ebola, died in childbirth, the ministry said.
