# Second American with Ebola Sent to Germany for Treatment
A US citizen working on humanitarian efforts in the Democratic Republic of Congo has tested positive for Ebola, becoming the second American infected during the DRC's current outbreak. Rather than receiving treatment in the United States, this patient has been sent to Germany for care, following the same path as the first infected American.
This marks a notable pattern in how American Ebola patients from the current DRC outbreak are being handled. Both infected US citizens have been directed to receive medical treatment in Germany rather than domestic US facilities, raising questions about the approach to care for Americans affected by the disease.
The Democratic Republic of Congo is experiencing what has been described as an "explosive" Ebola outbreak. The timing and severity of the outbreak have created challenges for managing infected individuals, including decisions about where patients will receive treatment and recovery care.
