The US National Institute of Health have reported that, people who survived an Ebola infection will have long life health problems.

Reporting during the annual Neurology Academy meeting, Dr Lauren Bowen from National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke revealed that most of the survivors had health issues and different neurologic problems. “Most common ongoing problems they experience were weakness, headache,memory loss, depressed mood and muscle pain."

Also Dr Bowen added that “other patient were actively suicidal or still having hallucinations.”

The report made public, as Pauline Cafferkey 40, the Scottish nurse, who contacted Ebola when she was working as the volunteer in Kerry Town Ebola unity in Sierra Leone is now admitted at Royal Free in London for the second time due to late complication from Ebola related diseases.

Up to now there about 28,600 people were infected with Ebola in West Africa during the outbreak and of that number 11,300 died.
