Nipah viral Encephalitis in India May 2018

Nipah viral Encephalitis in India

Kerala's Kozhikode is on high alert as a deadly virus called 'Nipah' (NiV) claimed six lives in the state. The fast-spreading virus Nipah reported has a mortality rate of 70 per cent. The central government on Monday sent a multi-disciplinary Central team from the National Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) to the district in the wake of deaths due to Nipah virus outbreak. 

Kerala Government has assured that all arrangements are on place and there is no need to panic. It also sanctioned an emergency fund of Rs 2 million (Rs 20 lakh) to the Kozhikode Medical College to tackle the fever outbreak. 

What is Nipah virus?

Nipah virus (NiV) infection is a newly emerging zoonosis that causes severe disease in both humans and animals.  Zoonosis means a disease that can be transmitted to humans from animals. 

The natural host of the virus is fruit bats of the Pteropodidae Family, Pteropus genus (fruit-eating species), according to WHO. 

How does it spread? 

Transmission of Nipah virus takes place through direct contact with infected bats, pigs, or from other NiV-infected people. 

What are the symptoms of Nipah virus infection?

According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, infection with Nipah virus is associated with encephalitis (inflammation of the brain). An infected person shows symptoms of fever and headache within three-14 days of exposure and an incubation period of five to 14 days.

The clinical signs are fever, headache, dizziness and vomiting, followed by drowsiness, disorientation and mental confusion. More than 50 per cent of the patients faced a reduced level of consciousness and prominent brain-stem dysfunction. Some patients have a respiratory illness during the early part of their infections, and half of the patients showing severe neurological signs showed also pulmonary signs.

When was Nipah virus first identified? 

Nipah virus was first identified in Kampung Sungai Nipah, Malaysia in 1998. The pigs were the intermediate hosts during that outbreak. Around 1.1 million pigs had to be killed to control the outbreak. However, it is not necessary to have an intermediate host during Nipah Virus outbreak.

When did Nipah Virus first occur in India?

In India, Nipah Virus affected the humans without any involvement of pigs. The first outbreak was observed in Siliguri, West Bengal in 2001. The second incident also emerged in Nadia district in West Bengal in 2007. Scientists have found that humans often contracted the disease by drinking raw date palm sap tapped directly from trees, a sweet treat that fruit bats also enjoy. 

The virus claimed over 300 lives across Malaysia, Singapore, Bangladesh and India between 1998 and 2008, according to WHO.

Nipah virus infection around the world

Bangladesh recorded several Nipah outbreaks in humans almost every year from 2001 to 2013. The virus has been detected in Cambodia, Thailand, Indonesia, Madagascar in Southern Africa and Ghana in West Africa on fruit bats or bats seropositive to NiV antibodies, according to a 2013 ICMR-sponsored research paper.  

What are the treatments of Nipah virus? 

According to WHO, there is no vaccine currently available for either humans or animals and NiV-infected patients are currently limited to supportive care. People have also been cautioned that they should not consume fruits that have fallen on to the ground.  
Because Nipah virus encephalitis can be transmitted person-to-person, standard infection control practices and proper barrier nursing techniques are important in preventing hospital-acquired infections (nosocomial transmission).

The drug ribavirin has been shown to be effective against the viruses in vitro, but human investigations to date have been inconclusive and the clinical usefulness of ribavirin remains uncertain.

Passive immunization using a human monoclonal antibody targeting the Nipah G glycoprotein has been evaluated in the post-exposure therapy in the ferret model and found to be of benefit.

Nipah virus is just another viral infection that affects the respiratory and central nervous systems with symptoms like drowsiness. Like most other viral infections, Nipah, too, has no treatment and can only be managed through intensive supportive care.

People living in areas inhabited by bats or wildlife animals should be alert as there can be other infections that can afflict them.

There is a remote possibility of an infected person travelling to other parts of the country and spreading the disease. As on today 25.5.2018 there is no threatof spreading of this disease to other parts of the country, including Tamilnadu and Tiruchirappalli district. As a precautionary measure Individuals from kerala with fever coming to Tamilnadu should report local health authorities for screening to prevent Nipah viral spread.

Anti-littering squad to impose fine

TIRUCHI, MAY 23, 2018 00:00 IST
UPDATED: MAY 23, 2018 04:41 IST C.

Jaisankar

In a move to prevent residents from dumping or throwing waste in public places, Tiruchi City Corporation has formed a flying squad to levy spot fine for littering public places.
The five-member exclusive squad will be headed by a Health Officer and will function round-the-clock.
Corporation Commissioner-cum-Special Officer N. Ravichandran toldThe Hinduthat the flying squad would visit vulnerable places. It would also book those failing to segregate waste into biodegradable and non-biodegradable waste at source from homes and commercial establishments.
The team would start functioning from Wednesday. The Corporation had powers to slap fine for littering public places. The penalty ranged from Rs. 50 to Rs. 500 for different violations. The team members would carry machines to provide receipts.
According to a rough estimate, Mr. Ravichandran said, the city generated 450 tonnes of garbage daily. Of this, 60% was domestic and 40% was from commercial establishments. The flying squad had been asked to collect fine at least 100 offenders daily.

India

In 2018 in the month of May currently there is Nipah virus outbreak in southern India state of Kerala which claims 9 lives . 

Till today Tamilnadu is free from Nipah related diseases. 

The state

Nipah virus (NiV) infection is a newly emerging zoonosis that causes severe disease in both animals and humans. The natural host of the virus are fruit bats of the Pteropodidae Family, Pteropus genus. 

NiV was first identified during an outbreak of disease that took place in Kampung Sungai Nipah, Malaysia in 1998. On this occasion, pigs were the intermediate hosts. However, in subsequent NiV outbreaks, there were no intermediate hosts. In Bangladesh in 2004, humans became infected with NiV as a result of consuming date palm sap that had been contaminated by infected fruit bats. Human-to-human transmission has also been documented, including in a hospital setting in India. 

NiV infection in humans has a range of clinical presentations, from asymptomatic infection to acute respiratory syndrome and fatal encephalitis. NiV is also capable of causing disease in pigs and other domestic animals. There is no vaccine for either humans or animals. The primary treatment for human cases is intensive supportive care.

Nipah virus outbreaks in the WHO South-East Asia Region

Nipah virus (NiV) encephalitis is an emerging infectious disease of public health importance in the WHO South-East Asia Region. 

Bangladesh and India have reported human cases of Nipah virus encephalitis. Indonesia, Thailand and Timor-Leste have identified antibodies against NiV in the bat population and the source of the virus has been isolated. The status of NiV infection in other SEAR countries is not known although flying bats are found throughout the region.

The first identification of Nipah virus as a cause of an outbreak of encephalitis was reported in 2001 in Meherpur district of Bangladesh. Since then, outbreaks of Nipah virus encephalitis have been reported almost every year in selected districts of Bangladesh.

 The Nipah outbreaks have been identified in Naogoan (2003), Rajbari and Faridpur (2004), Tangail (2005), Thakurgaon, Kushtia and Naogaon (2007), Manikgonj and Rajbari (2008), Rangpur and Rajbari (2009), Faridpur, Rajbari and Madaripur (2010) and Lalmohirhat, Dinajpur, Rangpur and Comilla (2011) and Joypurhat, Rajshahi, Rajbari and Natore (2012).

 Repeated outbreaks of Nipah virus encephalitis were established in some districts. Sporadic cases of Nipah virus encephalitis have been reported, mostly from the west and north-western regions of Bangladesh almost every year, with high mortality and constituting a public health threat. Up to March 31, 2012 a total of 209 human cases of NiV infection in Bangladesh were reported; 161 (77%) of them died.

India reported two outbreaks of Nipah virus encephalitis in the eastern state of West Bengal, bordering Bangladesh, in 2001 and 2007. Seventy one cases with 50 deaths (70% of the cases) were reported in two outbreaks. 

During January and February 2001, an outbreak of febrile illness with neurological symptoms was observed in Siliguri, West Bengal. Clinical material obtained during the Siliguri outbreak was retrospectively analyzed for evidence of NiV infection. Nipah virus-specific immunoglobulin M (IgM) and IgG antibodies were detected in 9 out of 18 patients. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assays detected RNA from NiV in urine samples from 5 patients. 

A second outbreak was reported in 2007 in Nadia district of West Bengal. Thirty cases of fever with acute respiratory distress and/or neurological symptoms were reported and five cases were fatal. All five fatal cases were found to be positive for NiV by RT-PCR.

The morbidity and mortality data of human NiV infection in India and Bangladesh from 2001 to 2012 is presented in Table 1. So far, NiV has infected 263 people and resulting in 196 deaths since 2001. The case fatality rate of Nipah virus encephalitis ranges from 0-100 and average case fatality rate is 74.5%. The case fatality rate has remained high during 2008 – 2012 despite a public awareness campaign and establishment of a referral system for better treatment and nursing care of patients in potential outbreak areas in Bangladesh.

There was no involvement of pigs in NiV transmission as was observed in Malaysia during an outbreak in 1998-99. Consumption of raw date palm sap contaminated by flying bats was the primary source of human NiV infection in Bangladesh.

Nipah cases tend to occur in a cluster or as an outbreak, although 18% of cases in Bangladesh were isolated. Strong evidence indicative of human-to-human transmission of NiV was found in Siliguri (India) in 2001 and in Bangladesh in 2004.

Outbreaks of Nipah in South-East Asia have a strong seasonal pattern and a limited geographical range. The geographical distribution of NiV outbreaks is shown in Fig. 1. All the outbreaks occurred during winter and spring (December-May). This could be associated with several factors like the breeding season of the bats, increased shedding of virus by the bats and the date palm sap harvesting season.

First outbreak of Nipah virus in Malaysia and Singapore
Nipah virus infection was first recognized in a large outbreak of 265 suspected cases in peninsular Malaysia during September 1998 to April 1999. Most patients had contact with sick pigs or had been in close physical contact with Nipah virus infected patients and then presented primarily with encephalitis. The outbreak was initially thought to be due to Japanese encephalitis, but it was later identified as Nipah virus encephalitis. 

This outbreak caused widespread panic and fear in Malaysia leading to considerable social disruptions and tremendous economic loss because of the mass culling of over one million pigs. In addition, eleven abattoir workers in Singapore developed a febrile illness caused by Nipah virus during March 1999 following close contact with imported pigs from Malaysia. 

The presentation of Nipah virus infection has been variable, ranging from the high mortality observed in the original Malaysian outbreak to an outbreak of low mortality disease among abattoir workers in Singapore, which presented as neurological illness and atypical pneumonia. No new outbreaks have been reported from these countries since May 1999.

In 2018 in the month of May currently there is Nipah virus outbreak in southern India state of Kerala which claims 9 lives . Till today Tamilnadu is free from Nipah related diseases. 

The state of Kerala is on high alert after three people from a family have died due to a rare and deadly Nipah viral infection. The deaths were reported in Kozhikode district of northern Kerala.
one of the nurses who treated the deceased also died after showing similar symptoms of illness says an unofficial report. 

Fruit Bats: The primary virus carrier
Fruit bats have been identified as the primary carriers of Nipah virus. The virus is usually transferred through fluids from the bat. This happens when humans consume fruits or vegetables which are bitten by infected bats.
Another possibility is that the virus could been transferred to pet animals like cats or dogs who are in direct contact with humans.

Nipah virus infection in humans has a range of clinical presentations, from asymptomatic infection to acute respiratory syndrome and fatal encephalitis.
Nipah virus is also capable of infecting pigs and other domestic animals. There is no vaccine for either humans or animals. The primary treatment for human cases is intensive supportive care.

In india this the third outbreak of Nipha viral diseases in 2018 May at kerala state in southern India.

Sudden bursts of rain could cause viral, respiratory diseases, warn doctors

Updated: May 22, 2018, 00:40 IST

Trichy: The sudden bursts of rain amidst scorching summer in Trichy over the past couple of weeks could result in people contracting viral and
respiratory diseases, warned doctors.
The unpredictable weather conditions can aggravate certain existing health issues too. With these potential risks, people have been asked to be careful, especially during the pre-onset of monsoon.
Changes in the weather, especially unexpected rainfall during summer, can lead to the growth of infectious agents, according to city-based neurologist Dr M A Aleem. “Since this change can cause water contamination, there could be a breakout of water-borne diseases,” he warned.
The neurologist also added that people with existing health issues should be careful during times like this. “Over the past few days, several people with migraine came to me saying that their headache frequency had increased. People with asthma and epilepsy can also experience such aggravation,” he told TOI. Aleem suggested people to wear dust masks whenever they experience unpredictable weather conditions.
On the other hand, dean at Mahatma Gandhi Memorial Government Hospital (MGMGH) Dr G Anitha said that rainfall during summer doesn’t mean that summer-related diseases would go away. “It is very possible to get skin diseases like miliaria rubra and fungal infections,” she said.
The risk of people contracting dengue or viral fever is also possible due to water stagnation. Hence doctors said that people should make sure of the overall hygiene of their localities.
Apart from this, following simple diet routine by including more fruits and vegetables is very essential. “I would urge people to stop eating at roadside shops for some time,” Anitha added.

NEET Aspiraants Leave For Centres 8n Kerala - The Hindu Tiruchi 5.5.2018

NEET aspirants leave for centres in Kerala

TIRUCHI, MAY 05, 2018 00:00 IST

R. Krishnamoorthy

Many question rationale behind assigning centres outside TN
Students from Tiruchi appearing for NEET on Sunday at centres in Kerala began their journey by the Ernakulam Express train and buses from here on Friday.
Some also faced last minute travel hitches. One such candidate, Nitish, son of an auto driver Senthil (48), was left stranded as he had not booked tickets. A pensive Senthil said he dropped the idea of taking his son by train as there would be no space even to stand in the unreserved compartments. “I am thinking of taking my son by bus to Coimbatore or Erode and from there to Kerala by train or bus on Saturday, on Saturday, to cut down expenses,” he said.
There were several students and parents in a similar predicament. But, the number of Tiruchi students assigned centres out of Tamil Nadu could not be ascertained either by the Education Department or the coaching institutions.

Chief Educational Officer Ramakrishnan said 234 students of government and government-aided schools availed themselves of the benefit of free NEET training at various centres across the district. But, the department had no idea as to how many students from private schools had applied online for the exam. Headmasters of government schools have been issued instructions to provide assistance to parents of those students who have been assigned exam centres outside Tamil Nadu, as directed by the Government, the CEO said.

According to a manager of a coaching centre here, students of private schools had applied through their respective institutions, and there would be more than 8,000 medical aspirants from the district.

V. Manivasagan, State president of Tamil Nadu Higher Secondary Post Graduate Teachers' Association charged the CBSE with causing inconvenience to the students of Tamil Nadu with an "ulterior motive" of forcing the parents who had till last year sought abolition of NEET.

M.A. Aleem, president, Tamil Nadu-Pondicherry Association of Neurologists, questioned the rationale behind assigning centres outside Tamil Nadu when there were 25 MCI-approved medical colleges in the State that were ideal for functioning as exam centres.

Plea to create more NEET centres in TN
  - By DR.M.A.Aleem
          President
         Tamilnadu pondicherry                    Association of Neurologists

Today supreme court of india denied creation of more exam centres for NEET in TN . It created difficult situations for Tamilnadu NEET aspirants. They have to go to NEET centres available in nearby states. In consume time travel and many expenses to appear for the exam.

TN state is already having 25 MCI approved medical colleges . But the 2018 available NEET centres in Tamilnadu is only 10 cities. So central Government should consider to allot more NEET exam centres in each Medical council of India appoved medical colleges in Tamilnadu and in other states.

Our TN students are bright. They will come out with flying colours in any competitive exams and challenges. I predicts and assured that In 5 years Tamilnadu students only going to get all seats available through NEET exams in both UG and PG medical seats. At that time all states in India will cry to erase NEET Exams.
