Spain's Ebola patient is feeling better just hours after she received an experimental treatment, health sources said.

Teresa Romero is still in serious condition at Carlos III Hospital in Madrid, but she is improving, a health source told AFP Saturday. Late Friday she was given a dose of ZMapp, a U.S.-made drug that's not yet been clinically tested.

"(She) is quite a bit better than yesterday. Her condition improved in the night. She is conscious and talks from time to time when she is in a good mood," the source said.

Romero was diagnosed with Ebola on Oct. 6, becoming the first person to contract the disease outside of West Africa.
