The condition of Scottish nurse Pauline Cafferkey is said to have deteriorated rapidly over the last couple of days, and she is reportedly in a critical condition in hospital.

Ms. Cafferkey became infected with Ebola while working in Sierra Leone, and despite raising concerns about her health, she was given the all clear at Heathrow airport to fly home to Glasgow.

The nurse has been treated with an experimental antiviral drug and plasma obtained from an Ebola survivor, but despite initial hopes of a successful outcome, she is now fighting for her life in hospital.
