Henipaviruses

Patients infected with Hendra virus or Nipah virus should be followed up and monitored for the possibility of developing late-onset encephalitis or a relapse of encephalitis months to years after their initial presentation.[36]Abdullah A, Tin Tan C. Henipavirus encephalitis. In: Tselis AC, Booss J, eds. Handbook of clinical neurology, volume 123: neurovirology. New York, NY: Elsevier; 2014. Those with neurological involvement should be monitored for:

• Development of seizures

• Blood levels of anticonvulsants, if treated, to ensure therapeutic levels are achieved.
