A nine-year-old boy is among the four who tested negative for Nipah virus. The Kozhikode hospital where the boy was treated said it was the first time in the world that a Nipah patient on ventilator support had returned to life.
The minister while addressing the media on Sunday said that a medical student who was put in an isolated ward with suspected symptoms has also tested negative.
There is no specific antiviral treatment for Nipah virus infection. Therefore, supportive care and taking care of the symptoms is essential. TheHealthSite.com
