Prognosis

One of the three Hendra virus infections was marked by a delayed onset of progressive encephalitis. Serious nervous disease with Nipah virus encephalitis has been marked by some sequelae, such as persistent convulsions and personality changes.

Two of the three human patients infected with Hendra virus died. During the Nipah virus disease outbreak in 1998-99, about 40% of the patients with serious nervous disease who entered hospitals died from the illness.
