Neuronal infection is a major pathogenetic mechanism and cause of fatalities in human acute Nipah virus encephalitis

Acute Nipah (NiV) encephalitis is characterised by a dual pathogenetic mechanism of neuroglial infection and ischaemia–microinfarction associated with vasculitis‐induced thrombotic occlusion. We investigated the contributions of these two mechanisms in fatal cases.
