    Information on Hendra and Nipah viral diseases Symptoms, Diagnosis, Prognosis, Screening and Imaging

    The first human cases were recognized in 1994 and 1999. The Hendra cases followed close contact with sick horses in Australia, and the Nipah cases occurred in pig farmers in Malaysia. Patients developed encephalitis and pneumonitis. The case-fatality rate was about 50%. [Chin, p. 236-8] Eleven abattoir workers developed encephalitis or pneumonia and one died after Nipah virus infections in Singapore in 1999. All infected workers had direct contact with live pigs. [J Infect Dis 2000;181(5):1760-3]

    Hendra and Nipah viral diseases Latency

    4-18 days (as long as 3 months for Hendra virus)
