Nina Pham, one of the two nurses who contracted Ebola in Dallas, will be moved to a National Institutes of Health isolation unit in Bethesda, Maryland, where a top doctor will personally weigh in on her care.

"I am going to see her tonight when she arrives," Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Disease, told reporters after a congressional hearing on Thursday.

Pham, 26, was diagnosed with the virus on Sunday after treating Thomas Eric Duncan, who contracted Ebola in Liberia, flew to Dallas and later died.
