Baby Sesay was in a care center in a village in Sierra Leone, waiting to find out if she had Ebola. Our photographer took a picture. Two days later, she was gone.

Ebola can linger in semen for months after a person recovers from the disease. So survivors are typically given condoms and a stern warning. But India is being more cautious.

A Spanish-language newspaper reports that Teresa Romero Ramos told authorities on three separate occasions before her quarantine that she had a fever.

The University of Nebraska Medical Center says Ashoka Mukpo was cleared by the CDC and will be discharged on Wednesday.

Dr. Martin Salia, who got the virus while working in Sierra Leone, is said to be sicker than some of the other patients who have been successfully treated for the disease in the U.S.

Dr. Martin Salia was flown to the United States over the weekend. He was working as a general surgeon at a hospital in Sierra Leone.

He was one of only 130 or so doctors who served the country. When news came that he'd succumbed to Ebola, people went into shock, mourning the death of "a great hero."

The world of global health is an acronym soup. And the Ebola virus has generated its own list.
