During the treatment of a patient with Ebola virus disease, one facility documented generating over a thousand pounds of Cat-A. The processing and disposal of Cat-A in the treatment of patients with HCID highlights how this issue is affecting the development of the National Special Pathogen System and the United States’ ability to respond to a national HCID epidemic."}
