Sample from Karnataka sent to Pune for Nipah test

One case of suspected Nipah Virus infection has been reported in Mangaluru. Trilok Chandra, who confirmed this to The Hindu on Monday, said the sample has been sent to the National Institute of Virology, Pune. The Commissioner said a detailed advisory on precautions was already issued after the first confirmed case of Nipah virus was reported in Kerala. “We have asked the district officials to monitor arrivals for symptoms such as fever, headache, vomiting, dizziness, disorientation and convulsions, and anyone with these symptoms should seek immediate medical care.”
