摘要
Advanced diffusion weighted (DW) MRI of the brain in the fatal outbreak of Nipah viral encephalitis among pig workers in Malaysia and Singapore revealed a pattern similar to ischaemic infarction caused by obstruction of small cerebral blood vessels. However, relapse and late-onset cases in Malaysia, and other outbreaks of Nipah virus in Bangladesh and the Hendra virus infection in Australia, showed a different MRI pattern of predominantly confluent cortical lesions. MRI was useful in characterizing the disease in acute infection, as well as detection of spine abnormalities and subclinical infection.
