History of Present Illness


A 28-year-old female in Monrovia, Liberia, presents with blurry vision in both eyes (OU). She has a past medical history of Ebola virus disease (EVD) diagnosed 6 months before her initial presentation. Vision loss in the right eye (OD) occurred 3 days after discharge from an Ebola treatment unit with subsequent loss of vision in the left eye (OS). Other associated symptoms include pain, light sensitivity, and tearing OU ( Fig. 18.1 ).
