Abstract

Ebola virus disease survivors demonstrated musculoskeletal sequelae during the 7 years since hospital discharge. Reported joint pain and joint tenderness to palpation were the most common sequelae. Sequelae generally decreased over time, but fluctuations were noted. Survivors 15-40 years of age demonstrated the highest rates of sequelae throughout study duration.
