Scots nurse Pauline Cafferkey has been discharged from a London hospital after being treated there for a third time since contracting Ebola.
The 40-year-old from South Lanarkshire was flown to the Royal Free Hospital on Tuesday after being admitted to Glasgow's Queen Elizabeth Hospital.
The Royal Free said she had been discharged and was "not infectious".
Ms Cafferkey was treated there twice in 2015 after contracting Ebola in Sierra Leone the previous year.

Everytime I think to update my tagline, something like this pops up.
Our own Ebola nurse, Casey Hickox, had fans of her untitled backside telling us it was mean to forcibly confine her entitled backside.
Pinging Hickox’ FR based fan and ebola apologist, even though they are banned.
Hmm. Does the Ebola virus act like the Malaria parasite? Lurking undercover for months and then resurfacing? Interesting to contemplate. I suspect if this was fact, there would be no one volunteering to work in the Ebola encampments.
Nice of the Beeb to get the Scots part right, not “Scotch”, which is a potable. Now try saying Netherlander or Nederlander instead of “Dutch”.
Something mysterious, very remotely like “epigenetic”, maybe.
The CDC admits it lives in semen for 6 months so men shouldn’t have sex during that time. If it lives in men, it should also live in women. Likely, it can live much longer.
All other ‘issues’ aside, prayers for Pauline. Although surviving Ebola initially is the main focus, the resulting damage/aftermath can be pretty bad & it sounds like this is what she’s dealing with.
My question would be “Is this three flare-ups of the same infection or does she get infected and cured three separate times?” If it’s all one case, I’d say she needs longer treatments and more quarantine.
