'Post-Ebola Syndrome' Persists After Virus Is Cured, Doctor Says

New findings discovered that some West Africans who are fortunate to survive Ebola may go on to develop what's being called "post-Ebola syndrome," characterized by loss of sight,and long-term poor health, a doctor told WHO.

“We are seeing a lot of people with vision problems,” Dr. Margaret Nanyonga, a psycho-social support officer for WHO, said at a conference in Sierra Leone last week. “Some complain of clouded vision, but for others the visual loss is progressive. I have seen two people who are now blind.”
