The first Briton infected with the deadly ebola virus is being treated with the experimental drug ZMapp in a London hospital.
William Pooley is being treated in an isolation unit at the Royal Free in Hampstead after being admitted on Sunday.
He had been transported to the UK on a specially-equipped RAF plane from Sierra Leone in West Africa where he caught the disease while helping ebola patients.
ZMapp has been dubbed by some as the "cure" after two aid US workers were successfully treated for ebola after taking it.
Dr Michael Jacobs, consultant and clinical lead in infectious diseases at the London hospital, said: "We have had the opportunity to give him the ZMapp treatment that I am sure you are aware of.
"It is an experimental medicine, we made that absolutely clear in our discussions with him."
He added: "What has become apparent to us is that he is clearly a rather resilient and remarkable young man."
