Alarm virus in India/ First Postproliferation Cases Recorded since 1998

Nipah (Henopavirus grandsons), who first registered in 1998, is a serious and often fatal zootic virus that is spread by bats and can infect animals and humans.

Currently, there are no specific treatments for Nipah, nor is there any vaccine against the disease. The infection has never been registered in the United States.

Initial symptoms of the Nipah virus infection usually include coughs, respiratory difficulties, fevers, headaches and throat pains.

Symptoms usually develop within four to 14 days of infection by people with the virus, although longer periods of incubation have been recorded in previous explosions. After the symptoms appear, they usually last for three to 14 days.

As the infection develops, some patients can also develop serious complications known as encephalitis, an inflammation of the brain.

This could result in additional symptoms involving confusion, drowsiness and crisis, with patients often in a coma within 24 to 48 hours. The Nipah virus has a very high mortality rate, with O The BSH, which reports that it is estimated that between 40 per cent and 75 per cent of the cases could result in death./Periscopi/
