Nipah Virus is a zoonotic virus (disease that animals can transmit to humans); the virus often infects animals such as pigs and fruit bats (Pteropodid), but they may be asymptomatic.
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!The cause of a Nipah virus infection is the Nipah virus (NiV). The virus can cause a range of symptoms in people, and cases can range from mild to deadly. Nipah virus (NiV) is a member of the family Paramyxoviridae, genus Henipavirus and is related to Hendra virus that infects horses.
Causes
Humans who have direct contact with infected fruit bats or infected pigs are the usual way an outbreak begins. However, the consumption of raw date palm sap contaminated with bat feces is another common way to get the disease. Human-to-human transmission (contagious) occurs during close contact between family members and/or medical caregivers.
The incubation period for Nipah virus usually varies from about five to fourteen days. There have been a few cases with much longer incubation periods (45 days).
Doctors do not completely understand the contagious period for infection, but it likely begins during the incubation period (proven in pigs) and continues until the patient stops shedding virus. In most patients, this occurs when the symptoms and signs of the infection are diminished.
Symptoms of Nipah virus infection
The signs and symptoms of Nipah virus infection begin with encephalitis; fever with persistent cough and difficulty in breathing and chillness, acute respiratory infection (mild or severe); influenza-like symptoms — fever, headache, muscle pain, vomiting, sore throat, dizziness and drowsiness (encephalitis signs), fear of death, scanty urine, confusion and disorientation in time and place, delirium, convulsion, myocarditis and vasculitis.
Encephalitis and seizures occur in severe cases, progressing to coma within 24 to 48 hours.
Encephalitis follows and those infected may exhibit:
- drowsiness,
- disorientation,
- mental confusion,
- altered consciousness, and
- seizures that can progress, within 24-48 hours, to coma and eventually death.
Diagnosis
A combination of tests that diagnoses Nipah virus includes the following.
- Viral isolation,
- RT-PCR, and
- Antibody detection by the ELISA tests is the test that health care professionals use most often to diagnose Nipah virus infection.
Allopathic treatments for Nipah virus infection
- According to the allopathic scientists, supportive care is the only current treatment for this viral infection.
- There is no vaccine specifically available to protect humans.
- However, some researchers suggest that the antiviral drug ribavirin may be useful, but there is little or no data to support this.
- A human monoclonal antibody that targets the G glycoprotein of Nipah virus has shown benefit in a ferret animal model and in experiments on prisoners and mentally ill people of this disease, but researchers have not enough data and results of those experiments.

Prognosis for Nipah virus infection
- The prognosis of Nipah virus infections is poor with allopathic treatment but very good with Homeopathic medication.
- Witha allopathic treatment, the fatality rate is estimated by the World Health Organization (WHO) to range from 40%-75%, depending upon the local capabilities for surveillance and clinical management (supportive care); while with Homeopathic treatment the fatality rate is less than 6% throughout the world and without any complications like encephalitis etc.
- Allopathic survivors may have residual neurological problems such as seizures and/or personality changes; Homeopathic treated patients’ scientists didn’t find any neurological and/or behavior changes till date.
