"T1:"
"T1 C+ (Gd): aforementioned lesions are non-enhancing"
"T2/FLAIR: aforementioned lesions are hyperintense"
"DWI: lesions have high diffusion signal"
"Nipah virus is a single stranded RNA virus and a member of the paramyxovirus family and the Henipavirus genus. The Henipavirus genus includes two of the most lethal viruses known to man: Hendra and Nipah. The natural reservoir of the virus is the Pteropus fruit bat 2. The incubation time from exposure to symptom onset is around 9 days 6. However, delayed onset of symptoms has also been reported more than 11 weeks after exposure 2. Most human cases are thought to be related to exposure to porcine hosts which can also be infected with the virus 2. However, direct bat-human transmission and human-human transmission have also been described 5."
"The virus is detectable in the CSF through viral culture and nucleic acid amplification. Hendra virus IgM and IgG ELISA tests can also detect Nipah virus 2."

"Japanese encephalitis"
"As the virus is thought to be transmitted from pigs to humans, pig farmers and abattoir workers are at the highest risk of exposure 2. Several outbreaks of the disease have occurred in Malaysia, Singapore, Bangladesh and India 5."
"Autopsies performed on confirmed cases of Nipah showed widespread endothelial damage and vasculitis. Surrounding the vasculitic areas were regions of microinfarction 1,3. The brain is the main organ affected, but the kidneys, heart and lungs also show evidence of viral infection 3."
"focal neurological signs (e.g. cerebellar, myoclonus)"
"The condition can be rapidly fatal progressing from the onset of symptoms to death on average in 6 days 6. In one study, mortality was 32%, whilst 14% had lasting neurological deficit; only 50% experienced complete recovery 2. In survivors, lesions on follow-up MRI have been noted to resolve or diminish over time 4."
