Pauline Cafferkey tests negative for Ebola after being admitted to hospital for fourth time

Nurse Pauline Cafferkey has tested negative for Ebola after being admitted to hospital for a fourth time.

Cafferkey, who was infected with the virus while working in Sierra Leone in December 2014, was admitted to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital on Thursday morning.

She is said to be in a stable condition.

In October 2015 and February 2016, she was readmitted after suffering complications linked to the disease - at one stage falling critically ill.

On her initial return to the UK in 2014, Cafferkey spent almost a month being treated in an isolation unit at London's Royal Free Hospital.

Last month, she was cleared of misconduct by a Nursing and Midwifery Council panel.

It was claimed she had not disclosed her true temperature when she first came back from Sierra Leone, shortly before she was hospitalised.
