A report released this week by the U.S. journal New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) described a case in which Ebola was present in the eye's aqueous
humor -- the clear fluid in the front of the eye, between the lens and the
cornea -- 10 weeks after the virus was cleared from the patient's blood.
Despite the presence of Ebola in the eye, the researcher were quick to note that samples from the patient's tears and conjunctiva, the surface of the eye
and eyelids, tested negative for the virus, indicating that casual contact with
Ebola survivors carries no risk.
The patient Andrelton Simmons Jersey , identified by U.S. media as 43-year-old Ian Crozier, was diagnosed with Ebola in September, while working in an Ebola
treatment unit in Sierra Leone as a doctor for the World Health Organization.
He was then transported to the United States and treated at Emory University Hospital's Serious Communicable Disease Unit for 40 days, including 12 days of
mechanical ventilation and 24 days of renal replacement therapy.
After his blood and urine tested negative for the virus, Crozier was discharged home. A semen sample obtained on the day of discharge, however,
tested positive Albert Pujols Jersey , so he was advised to abstain from sex or to use condoms for at least three months, according to the NEJM report.
Shortly after discharge, Crozier found he had new symptoms, including low back pain. Two months later, he returned to the same hospital with an
inflammation called uveitis and increased pressure in his left eye. The
resulting swelling led to reduced vision, and surprisingly, the eye's color
changed from blue to green.
So Cheap Los Angeles Angels Hats , his doctors stuck a needle in his eye and obtained an aqueous humor sample, which tested positive for the Ebola virus.
"It felt almost personal that the virus could be in my eye without me knowing it," Crozier told the New York Times.
Data on eye complications among survivors in the current outbreak are limited. Although 40 percent of participants in a recent survey of 85 Ebola
survivors in Sierra Leone reported having "eye problems," the incidence of
uveitis in this group was unknown, the NEJM report said.
Several studies of prior outbreaks, however, showed that Ebola infections often manifest in the eyes and can impact vision and cause blindness long after
a systemic infection has cleared.
One study on survivors of the 1995 Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo found that three of 20 survivors later developed uveitis Cheap Los Angeles Angels T-Shirts , which was marked by eye pain, light sensitivity, reduced vision and excessive tearing.
Lead author Steven Yeh, an ophthalmologist at the Emory Eye Center, believed that surveillance for the development of eye disease in the post-Ebola period is
needed.
"The presence of viable Ebola virus in the eye could mean that other Ebola survivors may also be at risk for the development of uveitis," he said in a
statement.
"The thousands of Ebola survivors in West Africa and health care workers in their home countries will need to be monitored for eye disease in the post-Ebola
period," Yeh said.
The findings also pointed to a need for infection control precautions when Ebola survivors underwent invasive procedures involving the eyes Cheap Los Angeles Angels Hoodies , they said.
As for Crozier, he has experienced visual recovery following therapy for the uveitis. His eye color also returned to normal, but why his eye changed color is
still a mystery.
MOSCOW, Jan. 15 (Xinhua) -- Russia and China are working closely together on a string of important international and regional issues, Russian Foreign
Minister Sergei Lavrov said Monday.
"We can try to enumerate for a long time the joint initiatives that Russia and China are promoting in the international arena," Lavrov said at his annual
press conference.
The two countries are working actively on their joint initiative on the transition from military confrontation to a political settlement on the Korean
Peninsula, one of the most serious topics on the international agenda Custom Los Angeles Angels Jerseys , he said.
"If we talk about the nuclear issue, it is primarily Pyongyang and Washington, but we will also be ready to contribute to this bilateral dialogue
within the framework of the so-called six-party process involving Russia, China,
Japan and the Republic of Korea," he added.
The six-party talks to denuclearize the Korean peninsula, which involved South Korea Cheap Los Angeles Angels Jerseys , the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), China, the United States, Russia and Japan, have been suspended since late 2008.
With regard to the Syrian settlement, Russia and China share the same stance in appealing for "an exclusively political settlement based on the decisions of
the United Nations Security Council that presupposes a political dialogue,"
Lavrov said.
The minister also highlighted cooperation in the field of international security Yunel Escobar Angels Jersey , specifying that the two countries jointly drafted important documents concerning the non-deployment of weapons in outer
space and the prevention of acts of chemical and biological terrorism.
A close process of consolidation of efforts on integration of the Eurasian space was also observed, Lavrov said, adding that the two countries have agreed
to promote the integration of their Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) and Belt and
Road initiatives.
"Members of the EAEU are preparing an agreement on trade and economic cooperation with China. In parallel, there are contacts between the EAEU and the
Shanghai Cooperation Organization...In general, this is what President Putin
called the Greater Eurasian Project," he said.
Putin announced the idea of a greater Eurasian partnership in December 2015.
