Complications
Survivors may have unusual problems, such as hair loss and sensory changes. There are also some late complications that may occur due to ebola. They are:
- Hearing loss
- Unilateral orchitis
- Headache
- Fatigue
- Myalgias
- Tinnitis
- Amenorrhea
- Bulimia
- Suppurative parotitis
Prognosis
The prognosis for a patient infected with the ebola virus is typically not good. The mortality rate from ebola can be as high as 90%. Many times patients will die from shock rather than blood loss. It should be noted that patients who are able to survive with ebola for two weeks are usually able to slowly recover.
