Médecins sans Frontières said on the 9th that Liberia, one of the worst-affected areas in Ebola, West Africa, has not had new confirmed cases for 42 consecutive days, and the Ebola outbreak has come to an end. However, a news released by the US "New York Times" on the 7th seems to cast a shadow over this good news.

The American media said that American doctor Ian Kroze had unfortunately infected Ebola during his work in Sierra Leone last year. After returning to China for more than a month, Croze was declared to be discharged from hospital due to the lack of detection of the virus in both blood and urine. It didn't take long for the doctor to find the Ebola virus in his eyes!

The 44-year-old Kroze told the New York Times that about two months after he was discharged from the hospital, his left eye began to have acupuncture-like pain, elevated intraocular pressure, and decreased vision. Even more frightening is that his eyes gradually lost their original blue color.

Croze then went to the Emory University Hospital where he was treated with Ebola. After repeated examinations, the doctor took some of the liquid from his left eye and sent it for inspection. The result was a big surprise: Ebola virus was positive!

Subsequently, doctors tried a variety of different treatments to help Croze once again get rid of Ebola's nightmare. The New York Times reported that Kroze's ocular symptoms gradually eased after receiving eye steroid injections and taking a test antiviral drug.

Doctors say that Croze's case is surprising and highlights the importance of eye examinations for Ebola's recoverees. "There should be attention to the development of eye symptoms including pain, redness, photosensitivity, blurred vision, etc. Symptoms of uveitis."

However, Emory University said in a statement that although Croze's left eyeball was detected with Ebola virus, his tears and outer eye mask samples were negative for Ebola test, indicating that with The daily exposure of the Bola rehabilitated person is not at risk of infection.

Medical staff said that a survey of 85 Ebola ex-residents in Sierra Leone also found that 40% of respondents reported some kind of "eye problems." However, since it is not clear how often this happens, it is difficult to determine whether it is a ubiquitous phenomenon.
