After reading the horrific discription of the symptoms of the ebola, 
which supposedly kills about 90% of it's victims, I was wondering 
about the 10% that survive. 

Do they recover completely or are there any life long effects
(brain damage, paralysis, etc)?

Thanks,
John


Probably massive liver damage. Ebola likes liver. Liver transplants anyone?
