The symptoms of Nipah Virus are:
- Fever from 3-14 days of exposure associated with severe headache due to encephalitis(swelling of the brain) which lead to a state of confusion, disorientation, nausea, persistent drowsiness and fainting.
- Choking, stomach pain, vomiting, fatigue and blurred vision could also be there.
- There are many patients who show neurological, respiratory and pulmonary signs as well
- These symptoms can lead to coma in 24-48hours.
If any of the above symptoms are present you should visit the nearest hospital and get evaluated.
