Nina Pham, the Dallas nurse who contracted Ebola after treating the first case diagnosed in the U.S., is now virus free, according to the National Institutes of Health.
Pham contracted Ebola after treating Thomas Eric Duncan, a Liberian man who traveled to the U.S. and died in a Texas hospital, Oct. 8.
The 26-year-old nurse was being treated at an NIH facility in Bethesda, Md., where she was admitted last week after several days of care at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas.
Another nurse who contracted Ebola after caring for Duncan, Amber Vinson, appeared free of the virus earlier this week after undergoing treatment at Emory University Hospital in Atlanta.
Pham is being cleared of the virus just a day after the first confirmed case of Ebola in New York City.
