Congo's health ministry says two of the first 10 people to receive an experimental treatment for the Ebola virus in the latest outbreak have recovered, and monitoring could show what role the treatment played. The two people received the mAb114 treatment isolated from a survivor of an Ebola outbreak in 1995. It was the first of five experimental treatments Congo approved for use in the outbreak that was declared on Aug. 1. Congo says 79 Ebola cases have been confirmed, including 42 deaths and 14 people who have recovered. More than 3,400 people in this outbreak have received an experimental Ebola vaccine.
