PARIS, July 29 — A group of French scientists has analysed the aftereffects of the Ebola virus on survivors. Their research revealed heightened levels of immunitary and inflammatory markers in survivors’ blood two years after contracting the illness. While persistent clinical signs have been identified in former Ebola patients , we still don’t know much about the long-term health consequences for people who survived the virus.

Compared to the people in the control group, who had never been infected with Ebola, the formerly ill participants showed high levels of inflammatory markers, which can explain the persistence of certain symptoms. Another important finding was the presence of IgG antibodies specific to the Ebola virus, which suggests long-term immune activity.
