MONROVIA As the Ebola epidemic retreats across West Africa, international
health authorities are turning their attention to the little understood
long-term effects of the often-deadly virus on the survivors.
.
There is little research on patients cured of the tropical fever, but the
World Health Organization (WHO) has acknowledged that many are
experiencing crippling complications long after walking out of treatment
units.
.
Matshidiso Moeti, the WHOs new head in Africa, said that Liberian
survivors had been reporting a range of problems, including sight and
hearing impairment.
.
We need to be aware that (complications) may be occurring and pay
attention when people are being treated in case there is something that
can be done to help them, she said in the Liberian capital of Monrovia.
.
Moeti said the U.N. agency initially focused on keeping people alive in
its battle against the worst-ever outbreak of the virus, which it says has
left almost 11,000 people dead in Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone.
.
So we are very much learning about this, Moeti said.

Yordoldo, who was discharged on March 5, said the majority of the
survivors she had spoken to were complaining of impaired sight and
hearing, headaches and other complications.
.
The WHO acknowledged the issue as early as October, when it carried an
interview on its website with a psychosocial support officer in Kenema, in
eastern Sierra Leone.
.
We are seeing a lot of people with vision problems. Some complain of
clouded vision, but for others the visual loss is progressive. I have seen
two people who are now blind, Margaret Nanyonga said.
.
Nanyonga, who calls the problem post-Ebola syndrome, said visual problems
had affected around half of Ebola survivors in Kenema, while others
complained of joint, muscle and chest pain and extreme fatigue.
.
We need to understand why these symptoms persist, whether they are caused
by the disease or treatment, or perhaps the heavy disinfection, Nanyonga
said.
