Kozhikode: The health department has released a protocol for the treatment of NIPA in the event of the death of a child affected by NIPA in Kozhikode and the symptoms found in two persons on the contact list. Patients treated for NIPA positive will have an RTPCR test every day.
If the patient recovers, or if the RTPCR result is 3 samples or negative twice at 5-day intervals, the patient can be discharged at the discretion of the treating physician and medical board. If the first result is negative, it should be monitored for 3 days. If there are no further symptoms, they should be monitored at home for 21 days. Further tests will be performed on those with symptoms. If the result is negative and there are no symptoms, then monitoring should be continued for 3 days.
