Et frygtindgydende virus, Nipah, har ramt Kerala og fået myndighederne på tæerne efter en teenagers tragiske død. Læs mere her!

Nipah-virusset har igen sat Kerala i alarmberedskab efter den sørgelige nyhed om en 14-årig drengs død. Dette frygtindgydende virus overføres fra dyr som grise og frugtflagermus til mennesker og har vist sig at være dødeligt. Myndighederne i den sydlige stat Kerala tager nu forebyggende skridt for at inddæmme spredningen af virusset og beskytte befolkningen. Med ingen kendt kur eller vaccine for Nipah er situationen ekstra kritisk, hvilket har fået sundhedsmyndighederne på tæerne.

En chokerende detalje i historien er, at Nipah-viruset kan forårsage en dødbringende hjerne hævelse, som skaber panik i Kerala. Sundhedsministeren i Kerala har bekræftet, at der er 330 personer på kontaktlisten og 101 i højrisiko-kategorien, hvilket gør situationen endnu mere skræmmende. Med symptomer som akut encephalitis syndrom og neurologiske problemer er det klart, at Nipah-virussets trussel ikke bør undervurderes.

Det vides, at den afdøde teenager spiste lokale frugter, herunder en 'hog plum' frugt, før han blev smittet med Nipah-virusset. Dette sender chokbølger gennem Kerala og sætter fokus på betydningen af at være opmærksom på fødevarekilder. Mens sundhedsmyndighederne venter på testresultaterne for yderligere 13 kontakter til den afdøde dreng, fortsætter jagten på kilden til infektionen, der har fået Kerala til at holde vejret.
