During a 1995 Ebola virus outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo, whole blood from recovering patients, and containing anti-Ebola antibodies, was used to treat eight patients, as there was no effective means of prevention, though a treatment was discovered recently in the 2013 Ebola epidemic in Africa.
Durante o abrocho de ébola de 1995 na República Democrática do Congo, utilizouse sangue completo de pacientes que se recuperaron que contiña anticorpos antiébola para tratar oito pacientes, xa que non había daquela un medio efectivo de prevención, aínda que no posterior abrocho de ébola de 2013 en África xa se descubriran algúns tratamentos.
