The Texan nurse diagnosed with Ebola after being infected by Thomas Duncan has received a blood transfusion from survivor Dr Kent Brantly.
It is the third time Dr Brantly has donated blood to Ebola victims after medics discovered he had the same blood type as previous patient Dr Nick Sacra and NBC cameraman Ashoka Mukpo, who is still being treated. Incredibly, according to DailyMail, nurse Nina Pham, 26, has also matched with Brantly and today received a transfusion of his blood in a move that doctors believe could save her life.

Pham has been in quarantine since Friday after catching the disease from 'patient zero' Thomas Eric Duncan - the man who brought the deadly virus to America. Today, Pham's condition was described as 'clinically stable'. Those who have survived Ebola have antibodies in their blood which can help new sufferers beat the disease. Dr. Brantly had offered his blood to Thomas Eric Duncan but their blood types didn't match.
