Abstract From 2014 to May 2015,> 26 000 Ebola virus disease (EVD) cases were reported
from West Africa. We present a patient with EVD who received brincidofovir and
convalescent plasma. The relative contributions of supportive care, investigational therapies,
and patient's immune-response on survival could not be determined. Randomized trials are
needed.
