Résumé
The Ebola virus disease (EVD) outbreak, which was declared as such in West Africa inMarch 2014, has become the largest EVD epidemic to date. It is the first time that EVD has beenresponsible for cases imported to the US as well as locally-acquired cases in Europe. Researchon pathophysiology and treatment has been considerably accelerated, and more precise des-criptions of various forms of ocular involvement have been obtained. Conjunctival hyperemiais often present during the acute phase, and it may contribute to the diagnosis of EVD in anepidemic context. During convalescence, ocular inflammatory manifestations may develop andcan be caused by viral persistence in ocular tissue. Eye care providers need to be aware of theophthalmic manifestations of EVD, sometimes several weeks after the acute infection, in orderto recognize them and take appropriate safety precautions.
