What is the Nipah Virus?
It may surprise you to learn that the Nipah virus is considered one of the most dangerous infections affecting humans. This infection is said to be even more dangerous than the coronavirus. According to a report, the mortality rate after Nipah infection ranges from 40 to 75 percent. The Nipah virus enters the body’s immune system, making it very difficult for the body to defend itself.
While other viral infections trigger an immune response that aids in recovery, the Nipah virus does the opposite. It misdirects the immune system’s response. The Nipah virus spreads through contact between bats and humans and through the consumption of contaminated food.
Main Symptoms of Nipah Virus
There are some important symptoms of the Nipah virus that are crucial to know. Failure to identify these symptoms can lead to serious problems. Symptoms include fever, body aches, headache, fatigue and weakness, cough, difficulty breathing, vomiting, and brain inflammation.
