Post-Ebola Syndrome is a post-viral syndrome affecting those who have recovered from infection with Ebola.[1] It manifests as joint pain, muscle pain, chest pain, fatigue, hearing loss, hair loss, cessation of menstruation, and poor long term health.[2][3] Some survivors report neurological issues including memory problems and anxiety attacks. Vision loss is also frequently reported, along with eye pain, inflammation, and blurred vision. There have been cases of uveitis.[4][5] It became more widely reported with the large number of survivors of the Ebola virus epidemic in West Africa.[6][7][8]
