    The Spain international was left sideline for Chelsea's matches against Crystal Palace,Maribor,Shrewsbury and Manchester Utd. That's four matches in three different competitions. But he came as in the starting eleven for Chelsea in their clash versus newly promoted club QPR. The striker did not score a goal and was substituted for André Schürrle at the 78th minute. Even though Chelsea got the victory 2-1 with goals from Oscar (32nd minute) and Eden Hazard (penalty 75th minute). Chelsea is in desperate need of the striker due to Didier Drogba being already 36 and Loïc Rémy currently having an injury.

    "According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, ZMapp has yet to be tested in humans for safety or effectiveness. ZMapp is not a vaccine, but a therapeutic drug for Ebola, so it cannot prevent infection. There are currently no FDA-approved vaccines or treatment products for Ebola. The standard treatment is merely supportive therapy, such as balancing the patients' fluids and electrolytes, maintaining their oxygen status and blood pressure, and treating them for any complicating infections."

  • With tuberculosis, you must take antibiotics for at least six to nine months. The exact drugs and length of treatment depend on your age, overall health, possible drug resistance, the form of TB (latent or active) and the infection's location in the body.
  • Most common TB drugs If you have latent tuberculosis, you may need to take just one type of TB drug. Active tuberculosis, particularly if it's a drug-resistant strain, will require several drugs at once. The most common medications used to treat tuberculosis include: Isoniazid Rifampin (Rifadin, Rimactane) Ethambutol (Myambutol) Pyrazinamide If you have drug-resistant TB, a combination of antibiotics called fluoroquinolones and injectable medications, such as amikacin, kanamycin or capreomycin, are generally used for 20 to 30 months. Some types of TB are developing resistance to these medications as well. A number of new drugs are being looked at as add-on therapy to the current drug-resistant combination treatment including: Bedaquiline Delamanid PA-824 Linezolid Sutezolid
