Ebola Returns in ‘Cured’ Doctor

Dr. Ian Crozier, who was seemingly cured of Ebola last October, is facing the disease again. It’s been lurking in his left eye all along. Fading sight, severe pain, and strong pressure led doctors to the discovery, while Crozier also faced joint and muscle pain, fatigue, and hearing loss. The color of his left eye also changed from blue to green. Crozier became infected with Ebola while working as a volunteer for the World Health Organization in Sierra Leone, where a large portion of infections began. Long-term effects from the disease have not been closely studied due to the limited number of outbreaks previously reported. Similar accounts are being reported in West Africa.
