ISZ-48

ISZ-48 was a plague that started as an ISIS biochemical weapon released in Ankara, Turkey as part of a terrorist attack that was supposed to weaken Turkey. The plague was finally cured, but not before it killed a third of the human population. ISZ-48 is now completely a thing of the past, as the disease has cures now, and vaccines against the disease have been injected in every human.

Symptoms
The symptoms act very fast but remain dormant in the body for a very long time before acting. The virus stays dormant in the human body for 15-20 days. The first symptoms are coughing, followed by a high fever around 4 hours after. The virus attacks the spinal cord and works its way up to the brain within 24 hours, invoking insanity. It eats away at the brain cells, and within 3 days of the first symptoms showing, death insues.
