4. Someone with Nipah May Have no Symptoms
Someone with this virus might have no symptoms whatsoever. In fact, someone with this virus could quickly have fatal encephalitis – which is inflammation of the brain – without ever even realizing that they are sick. The good news is that this is been in extremely rare cases so far. Another good thing to take from the information that is available is that this virus is extremely rare on its own.
It has not infected very many people as of yet. In fact, considering the number of people that might have been exposed, the chances of getting infected are actually pretty low. Most of the time, someone with this virus will have symptoms. But in some rare cases, the disease may progress to an extremely acute phase without showing any of the early warning signs or symptoms beforehand. It basically just depends on the luck of the draw.
