Case 19-2005

Abstract
A 17-year-old Indonesian girl was swept up by a tsunami that followed a large earthquake. She aspirated salt water and mud but did not lose consciousness. Two days later, a cough developed; two weeks after the tsunami, she had headache, nausea, and vomiting. One week later, right-sided hemiparesis and aphasia developed, which worsened after several weeks in local hospitals. She was transferred to the U.S. Naval Ship Mercy for evaluation and treatment.
