Nipah Virus and Bacteria Infections: Cardiac Complications in Maternal Health

Abstract

As a zoonotic virus, the nipah virus (NiV) can pass from people to animals. A novel paramyxovirus called NiV, which is related to the Hendra virus and has spread globally, has had tremendous impact on people's life. Numerous investigations have shown that NiV and SARS-CoV, the zoonotic virus that was responsible for the 2002 outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome, have a lot in common biologically. While NiV alone can also cause myocardial damage, pre-existing cardiovascular illness appears to be associated with worse results and an increased risk of death in individuals with the virus. Emerging infections include both newly emerging and re-emerging infections that have an increasing occurrence over the past few decades or threaten to do so. A new infectious agent entering the community, a previously unknown circulating agent being discovered, or the discovery that an infection is the true cause of a noncommunicable disease.
