Ebola in the West: Why some survive, others don't - CNN.com

Ebola in the West: Why some survive, others don't - CNN.com: There's no cure for Ebola. So why have some patients walked away healthy while others in the West died?

Dr. Kent Brantly, Nancy Writebol and Dr. Rick Sacra all contracted the disease while working in Liberia -- and all survived.

Spanish nurse's aide Teresa Romero Ramos got the virus while tending to stricken patients. She too lived.

But like the patients above, Thomas Eric Duncan and Spanish priest Miguel Pajares also received treatment in the West. Yet they died.

While there might not be a single, conclusive answer, a series of factors may contribute to survival.
