Abstract

Researchers describe an outbreak of encephalitis in Malaysia caused by a previously unknown virus. Encephalitis is an infection of the brain. Of 94 patients examined, 93% reported contact with pigs a few weeks before the illness. Over half the patients had symptoms of brain stem dysfunction. Other symptoms suggested the virus attacked the brain, brain stem and upper spinal cord. Thirty patients died, 50 completely recovered, and 14 had persistent neurological symptoms. The virus was named Nipah virus, and belongs to the class of viruses called paramyxoviruses.
