Ebola survivors exhibit long-term brain issues
New findings from the Prevail III trial revealed long-term neurological problems in most Ebola survivors 6 months after their initial infection.“What prompted our research is that a number of physicians already in Liberia were looking at survivors because there were already known issues, particularly ophthalmologic issues,” Bridgette Jeanne Billioux, MD, a neurologist at the NIH’s National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, told Infectious Disease News. “As the physicians were beginning to look at survivors, they noticed that there seemed to be some neurological issues.”
