Kerala govt confirms Nipah virus, 311 under observation
(EDS: Updates with student's medical bulletin)
Kochi, Jun 4 (PTI) A year after two north Kerala
districts were hit by Nipah claiming 17 lives, the disease
resurfaced in the state with a 23-year-old student here
confirmed to be infected with the potentially deadly virus.
The government said 311 people from various districts
with whom the student had interacted were under observation.
The student, who is being treated at a private hospital
here, is slowly improving and his fever subsiding, according
to a medical bulletin.
The results of blood samples of the student, which were
tested at the National Institute of Virology in Pune, have
confirmed Nipah, state Health minister K K Shailaja said here.
The result came this morning, she added.
Earlier, blood samples examined at two virology
institutes--Manipal Institute of Virology and Kerala Institute
of Virology and Infectious Diseases--had indicated Nipah.
The government said four people--three who attended to
the student initially and one person who studied with
him--were suffering from fever and sore throat.
They were shifted to the isolation ward set up at the
Kalamassery Medical College Hospital here for detailed
medical examination. Their health condition is satisfactory,
according to authorities.
Shailaja said the condition of the student is stable and
he was not put under any support system like ventilator.
"Good care is being given to the patient. The patient
sometimes become restless due to fever...We expect a good
result," she told reporters.
A medical bulletin issued by the hospital late in the
night said he was admitted on May 30.
"At present, the patient is clinically stable, slowly
improving and his fever is subsiding," it said.
The DMO has supplied the necessary anti-viral
medications as soon as the case was notified and the hospital
was able to start medications promptly, it said.
The hospital is strictly abiding by all public health
protocols as suggested by the district and state health
authorities and closely coordinating with them in the best
interest of patient and community, it added.
A government bulletin said a list of 311 people, who
have interacted with the student, has been prepared and they
were under medical observation.
The student, hailing from North Paravur in Ernakulam,
is studying in a college in Thodupuzha in Idukki district.
The student, who was suffering from fever, had gone to
Thrissur district with a group of students to attend a
training programme.
The government urged people not to panic and take
precautionary measures to prevent the spread of the disease.
"We have confidence that we can face it. We have faced it
in Kozhikode last year and contained it," Shailaja said trying
to instil confidence among people.
Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan said there was no need to
panic as the health network would rise up to the challenge.
"We are in constant contact with the Union ministry for
health. A team of experts have arrived in Kochi.Their
guidelines will also be used to tackle the virus outbreak,"
Vijayan said in a Facebook Post.
Under the supervision of the state health minister, all
necessary preparations have been completed, Vijayan said,
adding those who came in contact with the infected person,
have been traced and are under observation.
Extending all assistance to the state government to deal
with the situation, the Centre rushed a six-member team
comprising an epidemiologist to Kerala.
Union Health Minister Harsh Vardhan also spoke to
Shailaja to discuss the current situation and assured all
support from the Centre to the state.
A control room has also been set up and the Strategic
Health Operations Centre of the National Centre for
Disease Control has been activated, phone number for which is
011-23978046, a health ministry statement said in New Delhi.
According to state government figures, the Nipah virus
had claimed 17 lives -- 14 in Kozhikode and three in
neighbouring Malappuram in May last year.
Appealing to social media users not to spread panic among
the public, Shailaja said stringent action would be taken
against those indulging in such acts.
Leader of Opposition in the Kerala Assembly, Ramesh
Chennithala, who met Shailaja here, promised all support to
the state government to unitedly fight the disease.
Fruit bats of the Pteropodidae family are the natural
host of the Nipah virus.
Nipah virus can be transmitted to humans from animals
(such as bats or pigs), or contaminated foods and can also be
transmitted directly from human-to-human.
On May 19, 2018, Nipah virus disease (NiV) outbreak was
reported from Kozhikode.
Health experts from Kozhikode, who have experience in
fighting the disease, have reached Kochi.
According to the WHO, Nipah virus is a newly emerging
disease that can be transmitted from its reservoir (natural
wildlife host), the flying foxes (fruit bats), to both animals
and humans.
It takes its name from Sungai Nipah, a village in Malaysia
where it was first identified.
Symptoms range from asymptomatic infection, acute
respiratory infection (mild, severe), and fatal encephalitis.
Infected people initially develop influenza-like symptoms
of fever, headache, myalgia, vomiting and sore throat.
This can be followed by dizziness, drowsiness, altered
consciousness, and neurological signs that indicate acute
encephalitis.
Some people can also experience atypical pneumonia and
severe respiratory problems, including acute respiratory
distress. Encephalitis and seizures occur in severe cases,
progressing to coma within 24 to 48 hours.PTI TGB PLB
