Ebola, The Disease and Immune Privilege
The Symposium will feature invited guest speaker Ian Crozier, MD, an infectious disease specialist who while helping to fight against the Ebola outbreak in Kenema, Sierra Leone in August 2014, contracted the disease and was evacuated to Emory University Hospital where he recovered. Two months later with fading vision it was discovered that while his blood was Ebola-free, the eye was not. With Dr. Crozier our second invited speaker will be Steven Yeh, MD, Louise M. Simpson Professor of Ophthalmology, Emory Eye Center, who led the team to save his vision. The symposium will include additional talks and discussions on immune privileged tissues, filovirus infections, infection control and testing, and the sequential care needed for patients surviving Ebola by BUSM faculty Andrew Taylor, PhD (Ophthalmology), Elke Muhlberger, PhD (Microbiology), Nahid Bhadelia, MD, MA (Medicine), and Nancy Miller, MD (Pathology & Laboratory Medicine). Medical Campus students, faculty and staff are invited.
