A 39-year-old woman died of encephalitis a few weeks after being scratched by fruit bats. Autopsy disclosed meningoencephalomyelitis, and revealed neuronal intracytoplasmic inclusions which had similarities to Negri bodies of rabies. Laboratory investigations detected a Lyssavirus type previously identified only in fruit bats. This appears to be the first human case of encephalitis due to this Lyssavirus type.
一名39岁女性在被果蝠抓伤几周后死于脑炎。尸检发现脑膜脑脊髓炎，并发现神经元胞浆内包涵体，与狂犬病的内基小体相似。实验室检测发现了一种以前仅在果蝠中鉴定出的狂犬病病毒属病毒。这似乎是首例由这种狂犬病病毒属病毒引起的人类脑炎病例。
