Neurologic Sequelae After Ebola Virus Disease in Children in Liberia
Numerous neurologic symptoms were reported more commonly in EVD cases than in controls, suggesting that EVD may have a lasting effect on the nervous system. Limitations included small sample size and reliance on participant self-report. Our findings highlight the importance of long-term clinical monitoring of pediatric EVD survivors, given the potential impact on childhood development.
