Nipah virus is a very virulent zoonotic virus that, in humans, may cause severe respiratory illness and encephalitis inflammation of the brain. First isolated in Malaysia in 1998, it had caused outbreaks in many parts of South and Southeast Asia since its discovery. The virus is mainly transmitted by contact with infected animals, such as bats and pigs, or human-to-human transmission.
Since there is no specific antiviral for Nipah virus, conventional treatments are very limited, but homeopathy can supplement or boost the immune system to fight the virus.
Dr. Vaseem Choudhary at Homeo Care Clinic has tailored-made homeopathic treatment to enhance the body’s defensive capabilities in its fight against the impacts created by viral infections such as the Nipah virus.
How is Nipah Virus Transmitted?
In humans, the Nipah virus infection occurs through:
- Direct Transmission by Infected Animals: Bats, especially the fruit bats, are the natural reservoirs of Nipah virus. Infected pigs may also transmit the infection to humans.
- Contamination from Infected Food: Infection can occur following the consumption of food or fruits contaminated by saliva or urine from the infected bat.
- Human-to-Human: Human-to-human infection may also occur from direct contact with body fluids of an infected patient, such as saliva or blood.
- Nosocomial Cases: In a few instances, the virus has been identified as having been transmitted to healthcare practitioners from the patient themselves when inadequately managed materials exposed to the affected individual were used in treatment.
It is, therefore crucial to appreciate modes of transmission in prevention; Dr. Vaseem Choudhary and his team advise how to minimize contact by avoiding contaminated food and close contact with infected persons,
Symptoms and signs of Nipah virus infections
From asymptomatic to life-threatening, complications such as encephalitis, can be part of the Nipah virus infection. Symptoms include:
- Fever: High fever is one of the initial symptoms that occur with Nipah virus infection.
- Headache: The headache worsens and becomes more potent day by day.
- Somnolence and Confusion: The patient shows mental confusion and is unable to act normally.
- Cough and Respiratory Distress: Along with the persistent cough, the patient suffered from a difficulty in breathing along with wheezing.
- Vomiting: Nausea and vomiting are the common symptoms in the initial stages of the disease.
- Seizure and other neurological symptoms: The infection is accompanied by other neurological symptoms such as seizures.
- Encephalitis: Severe swelling of the brain can result in coma and, in extreme cases, death.
If any of the symptoms occur after suspected contact with the virus, one must see a hospital immediately. In treatment from the Homeo Care Clinic, Dr. Vaseem Choudhary is meticulous and administers aggressive holistic care of the symptoms.
Conventional Treatment of Nipah Virus
There is no specific antiviral drug or vaccine in use at present for the Nipah virus. Treatment is supportive in nature and includes management of symptoms and prevention of complications. Some ways may include:
Hospitalization: The patients usually have to be hospitalized in serious cases for supportive care and monitoring.
Ventilatory Support: If there is respiratory distress, such patients may need ventilatory support.
Neurological monitoring: Since encephalitis is a common complication, neurological function is keenly monitored.
IV Fluids and Electrolytes: Intravenous fluids maintain hydration and electrolyte balance.
Conventional medicine provides the most crucial interventions to save the life of a patient. However, support from homeopathy would bring life-giving strength to immunity and better recovery.
