There's a similar concept with Lyme Disease. A lot of people who had Lyme claim continuing symptoms, but there's absolutely no evidence for it and there is a lot of contention about the whole thing. With Lyme, it's "Chronic Lyme". Ebola also has post-disease syndrome. I'm sure there are more, but my High School Biology final paper was on whatever we wanted, and I went with Post-Ebola Syndrome, and my college capstone was on Lyme, which you can't write a long ass paper on Lyme without mentioning chronic Lyme, so those are the two I'm somewhat well-versed on.

Also, fuck every physician who prescribes basically unlimited antibiotics for shit like chronic Lyme and just the generic over-prescription of antibiotics.
