Monitoring
Long-term neuropsychiatric sequelae have been noted, including sleep disturbance, psychosis, hallucinations, and depression.[46] These should be screened for and referrals made as appropriate. Hearing loss has been described in 29% of patients with Lassa fever.[6] Follow-up should be arranged with an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist for assessment and support. Polyserositis has been described as a rare complication after recovery from Lassa fever and should, therefore, be considered during monitoring.[47]
