In February, two clusters of Nipah virus encephalitis were identified in Manikgonj and Rajbari Districts. All 9 cases presented with fever and altered mental status; 8 have died. A collaborative team from the Institute for Epidemiology, Disease Control and Research (IEDCR), Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of Bangladesh and ICDDR,B are conducting epidemiological studies to determine risk factors for disease. Findings from these investigations will be reported in future editions of the Health and Science Bulletin.
