A Norwegian woman who contracted the Ebola virus while working for Doctors Without Borders in Sierra Leone was cured and released from an isolation unit Monday.
"Today I am in good health and am no longer contagious," Silje Lehne Michalsen told reporters just minutes after Oslo University Hospital announced she had recovered.
"I feel very lucky and actually it doesn't feel like I have had Ebola," the 30-year old medical charity worker added with a smile as she hugged one of the medical staff.
She had been kept in an isolation ward since her repatriation from Sierra Leon and given an experimental treatment. The medical team did not disclose details of the treatment.
Michalsen was infected with the deadly virus which has claimed more than 4,500 lives when she was working in Sierra Leone's second city Bo.

I wonder how many Norwegians busted in, chopped up all the doctors as sourcerers, and threw them down the septic tank...?
I hope its true but after nearly six years riding the spinning wheel I'm still dizzy. It doesn't feel like we've climbed off of it yet.
A lifetime of lutefisk will kill anything. Like an appetite.
Have any 1st world patients remained in Africa for treatment? If so, I wonder what the survival rate is for those in that category?
Also not living on top of one another in slums with no sanitation probably helps as well.
Is that East of LA?..............EBoLa?...............
or it could be the tobacco vaccine? Am going to build up antibodies. Going to three packs a day.
“It’s starting to seem like 1st world patients, with a lifetime of healthy eating, immunizations, and general better welfare behind them are faring much better against Ebola than individuals from poor, ravaged Africa.”
Especially when they receive secret, experimental treatments.
Bring ‘em here, and their families can sue for lotsa $$$$ IF they don’t make it. Break that bank.
Send ‘em tobacco ... It’s the right thing to do.
Also sanitary funeral practices, no eating infected bush meat, and much better sanitation. Indeed, this gives hope that maybe the world won’t suffer a massive contagion. Now the other African countries need to learn from Nigeria’s experience.
I’m telling you - I think lots of governments have a treatment that’s not published specifically to counter the threat of Cold War Soviet Bio-Warfare.
The Russians were trying for decades to weaponize Ebola and Marburg - either by themselves of by building a Chimera with Smallpox. I bet lots of countries worked secretly against this threat. The Russians sure knew how to counter any potential “boomerang” effect. Assuming Ken Alibek is correct.
Cured or survived...that is the question.
Maybe that’s the “details of the treatment” they aren’t releasing? ;^)
Think what you want....could it be as easy as medicinal application of vitamin C.
+!
I actually don’t believe these stories of ebola ‘cures’ due to western treatment. I’m so jaded by the government lying to us, that this may just be another ruse to fool the world that we have a handle on a disease, so deadly and virulent, it’s classified by the US military as a biowarfare agent.
I'm with you NTI.
This is nonsense reporting. A medical facility SUPPOSEDLY cures a positive Ebola patient and then REFUSES to disclose it’s treatment???????????????
