Posterior and fundus photographs showing the spectrum of ophthalmic sequelae associated with EVD in survivors, Sierra Leone. A) Posterior segment photograph of an EVD survivor shows peripapillary chorioretinal scarring and variable pigmentary changes indicative of multifocal choroiditis. B) Fundus photograph of another survivor shows dense chorioretinal scarring along the superotemporal arcade and nasal to the nerve, consistent with inactive posterior uveitis. EVD, Ebola virus disease.
