🦠 What is Nipah virus (NiV)?

Nipah virus is a rare but very dangerous zoonotic virus (meaning it spreads from animals to humans).
It can cause brain inflammation (encephalitis) and severe respiratory illness.

It belongs to the same virus family as Hendra virus (Paramyxoviridae family).

🦇 Where does it come from?

The natural host is:

👉 Fruit bats (flying foxes)

They carry the virus without getting sick.

Humans get infected through:

1. Animal → Human transmission

Contact with infected pigs

Contact with bat saliva, urine, or f***s

Eating fruits contaminated by bats

Drinking raw date palm sap contaminated by bats (common in some outbreaks)

2. Human → Human transmission

Close contact with infected person

Exposure to body fluids (saliva, respiratory droplets)

Hospital spread (healthcare workers at risk)

🌍 Where have outbreaks happened?

Mostly in:

Malaysia (first outbreak, 1998)

Bangladesh

India (especially Kerala)

Some cases in Singapore

Outbreaks are usually small but very deadly.

⚠️ Symptoms

Symptoms usually appear 4–14 days after exposure.

Early symptoms (like flu):

Fever

Headache

Muscle pain

Sore throat

Vomiting

Severe symptoms:

Dizziness

Confusion

Drowsiness

Seizures

Encephalitis (brain swelling)

Difficulty breathing

⚠️ Many patients can fall into coma within 24–48 hours once severe brain symptoms start.

☠️ How dangerous is it?

Very high death rate.

Case fatality rate: 40–75% (sometimes even higher depending on outbreak and medical care).

Even survivors may have:

Long-term neurological problems

Personality changes

Seizure disorders

🧪 Is there treatment?

🚫 No specific antiviral cure yet

Management is supportive care:

ICU monitoring

Oxygen or ventilator

Control of seizures

Managing brain swelling

Some experimental treatments and vaccines are under study, but not widely available.

🛡️ Prevention

Since no cure, prevention is key:

✔ Avoid eating fruits partly eaten by bats
✔ Wash fruits well
✔ Do not drink raw date palm sap
✔ Use PPE when handling sick patients
✔ Proper infection control in hospitals
✔ Avoid contact with sick animals

🧠 Why health workers worry about Nipah

Because it has:

High death rate

Human-to-human spread

No specific treatment

Potential to cause outbreaks

That makes it a high-priority emerging infectious disease.
