** After Lucy is bitten a first time, Arthur comes to visit while she's trying on a wedding dress. As they talk, Lucy notes that her hearing is getting surprisingly good to the point she can hear servants on the other side of the house and mice crawling around in the walls but keeps having nightmares. After the second bite, she's bedridden and suddenly acts much more aggressive when she gets a whiff of garlic put by her bedside. When Quincy tries to calm her down, she suddenly sprouts fangs and nearly bites him if Van Helsing hadn't pulled him away. When they sedate her, they see that her fangs have receded but are quite noticeable on her gums in front of her regular teeth.

* ''Film/BramStokersVanHelsing'' follows Van Helsing trying his best to keep Lucy from turning. However, after Dracula's third bite, he's uncertain if he can despite his treatments. Indeed, when Arthur is looking over Lucy, she suddenly seems rather perky and flirty, asking him to kiss her. When he tries to tell her that Helsing ordered her to rest, her voice suddenly deepens in an inhuman tone, now "demanding" he kiss her. Van Helsing and Seward walk in just as Lucy suddenly grows fangs and tries to bite Arthur before Van Helsing manages to pull him away.

* Is hubby dearest not shaving, yet still baby faced? Does he avoid mirrors? Ladies, use your compact to check if he [[GlamourFailure still has a reflection!]].

* Many cases in ''Literature/{{Shiki}}''. One example being an elderly woman who supposedly "died" then came back to her daughter's house with no idea what happened to her. The daughter tries to feed her real food but she can't seem to keep it down. It isn't till the daughter cuts herself that the woman reacts to the blood and instantly starts to lap it up.
** Megumi is one of the earlier examples. When the new residents of the village move in, she get curious and goes to their manor to see what they're like. The owners invite her to come in... and suddenly grows deathly ill the following day, getting weaker and weaker before ultimately dying.
* In ''Manga/TokyoGhoul'', this begins to happen to Ken Kaneki after he's released from the hospital following an [[EmergencyTransformation organ transplant]]. He notices that he never ate anything while hospitalized, and suddenly his favorite foods taste disgusting. This leads to him slowly realizing that WarmBloodBagsAreEverywhere, and finally seeing his new GameFace in a mirror. To cope with this, he begins wearing a medical eyepatch to hide his [[BlackEyesOfEvil kakugan]]. Eventually, [[FriendlyNeighborhoodVampire Anteiku]] takes him in, hiring him as a part-time waiter as he befriends the Ghoul staff and begins slowly pulling away from his human life. His MuggleBestFriend, Hide, comments subtly on his changes but doesn't press him further. It turns out that [[spoiler: he figured it out early on, but waited patiently for Kaneki to tell him]]. In the anime, he confesses to having felt left behind and excluded from Kaneki's new life.

* In an old ''Comicbook/XMen'' issue, young Comicbook/KittyPryde returns from a visit with her family to find that Comicbook/{{Storm}} had fallen mysteriously ill after a mugging. In addition to general debilitation to the point of being bedridden; Kitty noted that Ororo was oddly sensitive to sunlight, flinched from the sight of her Magen David pendant, and had taken to wearing an odd scarf... so when {{Dracula}} showed up for his visit that night the girl had already loaded up on vampire hunting gear and launched an ambush (too bad [[DidntThinkThisThrough she led in with the crucifix]]).

* ''Fanfic/AbraxasHrodvitnon'': In this ''Franchise/{{Godzilla}}'' Franchise/MonsterVerse fanfiction, some of the Virus Victim Symptoms of being infected by [[Characters/AbraxasHrodvitnonTitansAndOtherCreatures the Many]] (a [[Characters/HaloOther Flood]]-style combination of TheVirus and TheAssimilator) are relayed. According to an unreliably dazed POV in Chapter 17, a child victim had an AllergicToEvil reaction and fell sick after being exposed. In the case of an infected [[spoiler:Titan]], his wound leaks pus and itches and suffers OminousHairLoss in the affected area, before Many tissue painfully bursts through the infected area and he feels the Many's HorrorHunger settling in him. Loss of color and the ProphetEyes ensue afterwards.

* Sometimes there's a telepathic connection between vampire and bite victim: Each can see what the other sees. ''Film/JohnCarpentersVampires'' movie has this example.
* In ''Film/TheLostBoys'', the main character shows the usual symptoms: He enjoys very rare meat (I think he drinks a cup of blood from a steak), and has an aversion to sunlight.
* This happens in ''Film/OnceBitten'', notably with bite marks in the inner thigh, making for a hilarious attempt at a locker room confirmation of his being a vampire victim.
* Sex Machine undergoes this in the film ''Film/FromDuskTillDawn'' after being bitten by a vamped Richie. As he's listening to the others talk, the sound suddenly drowns in his hearing replaced by a raspy demonic voice ordering him to kill the others. He then notices fangs in his mouth and his hands turn more monstrous which he quickly tries to hide. It's all played for laughs of course [[spoiler: till he completely turns and bites an unsuspecting Frost.]]
* ''Film/{{District 9}}'' has a sci-fi version of this, once [[spoiler:Wikus' arm begins to turn prawn]].
%%* ''GingerSnapsBackTheBeginning''
* Almost completely averted in John Carpenter's ''Film/TheThing1982'', where [[YouCannotGraspTheTrueForm The Thing]] imitates whoever it infects so perfectly (in looks AND personality) that it's practically invisible, allowing it to be one of the most ParanoiaFuel-inducing films imaginable.
* Classic case in the first ''Film/CountYorga''. A woman named Erica gets bitten at the start of the film. Prior before this, she was shown to be quite perky. But after Yorga's attack, she's despondent and listless. When her boyfriend, Paul, calls to check in on her the following day, it shown that she completely trashed her place and drops her phone on the floor when it rings, looking at it as if she can't understand what it is anymore. When Paul and fellow friend, Micheal, understandably go to her house out of worry, they find that Erica chased down and is now eating chunks out of her pet kitten. When she notices them she screams like a banshee and warns them not to come near her. However she suddenly recognizes Paul and becomes more seductive. It's then she comes to her senses, realizes what has happened and breaks down into Paul's arms. After calling their doctor friend, Hayes, they do a blood transfusion where Erica mutters something to "Not let it happen", begging Paul to forgive her and even asking to be killed. When asked what she's afraid of however, she can't say what as if something is keeping her from telling her friends. [[spoiler: Ultimately however she succumbs to the vampirism and turns completely, becoming Yorga's third bride.]]
* In ''Film/BramStokersDracula'', after Lucy is bitten a first time. Arthur comes to visit while she's trying on a wedding dress. As they talk, Lucy notes that her hearing is getting surprisingly good to the point she can hear servants on the other side of the house and mice crawling around in the walls but keeps having nightmares. After the second bite, she's bedridden and suddenly acts much more aggressive when she gets a whiff of garlic put by her bedside. When Quincy tries to calm her down, she suddenly sprouts fangs and nearly bites him if Van Helsing hadn't pulled him away. When they sedate her, they see that her fangs have receded but are quite noticeable on her gums in front of her regular teeth.
** Later after Mina is bitten and drinks some of Dracula's blood. she likewise has fangs forming on her gums, has a psychic link to Dracula and nearly succumbs to the vampirism at a camp stop when Dracula's brides try to coax her into biting Van Helsing before he brings her back to her senses with a wafer. She even somehow gains powers by being able to summon clouds to aid Dracula in the final battle.

* ''Film/BramStokersVanHelsing'': The film follows Van Helsing trying his best to keep Lucy from turning. However after Dracula's third bite, he's uncertain if he can despite his treatments. And indeed when Arthur is looking over Lucy, she suddenly seems rather perky and flirty, asking him to kiss her. When he tries to tell her that Helsing ordered her to rest, her voice suddenly deepens in an inhuman tone, now "demanding" he kiss her. Van Helsing and Seward walk in just as Lucy suddenly grows fangs and tries to bite Arthur before Van Helsing manages to pull him away.

** Lucy shows symptoms as Dracula takes more of her blood becoming more weak and susceptible to his power. At first it being odd nightmares and sleepwalking being more frequent. But after being bitten a third time, her condition worsens quickly, she rips up a letter at one point and continues the motion even when it's taken from her as if she's under a spell, it noted that she looks odd when she sleeps - looking stronger when not awake yet weaker when she is especially at night. Eventually the protagonists realize her bite marks are completely gone and her canines are noticeably sharper. When she sees Arthur, her demeanor turns completely seductive though she has a glazed, dull look in her eyes before she tries to "kiss" him. Helsing realizes it's the vampire in her talking and keeps Arthur from her and indeed for a moment she goes into rage before coming to her senses and eventually dying. Helsing bitterly notes that the Lucy they know is dead and has now been corrupted into a vampire.
** Likewise Mina shows vampiric traits after Dracula bites her and forces her to drink his blood. A wafer Helsing tries to bless her with burns her skin and leaves an imprint on her, her canines start getting longer and sharper and the heroes find she has a telepathic connection with Dracula and use it to track him down though over time the hypnosis to activate the connection starts to fail, indicating that Dracula's power over her is growing and he can block it out. What's more, as the trip to the castle goes on, Mina loses her appetite for regular food and falls into a sleep during the day she can't be woken from. Yet creepily enough when night falls, she's much more active and exuberant until dawn. So much so that Helsing can't go to sleep at one point during a camp stop due to her just blankly ''staring'' at him all night, fearful that she could pounce on him at any moment. When the brides attack the campsite later on, Mina feels a strong connection to them and a part of her ''wants'' to go to them. But due the makeshift barrier Van Helsing made, she prevented from leaving it and Helsing is relived with this and Mina's fearful expressions since it means she isn't under Dracula's control just yet.
* Subverted in Creator/FredSaberhagen's version of the tale, ''Literature/TheDraculaTape''. Here, vampires aren't actually vulnerable to holy items (Dracula suspects that the holy wafer pieces used to stop Lucy Westenra from leaving her grave were mixed with a heavy dose of garlic, which ''is'' a problem for them especially when young), and so Mina isn't either; her burn is explained away as psychosomatic, a result of van Helsing all but hypnotizing her and her own conflicted feelings about starting to fall in love with the Count, and the alleged telepathic connection is just one big fib from start to finish.
* Akin to the aforementioned effects in ''Series/TrueBlood'', in ''Literature/TheSookieStackhouseMysteries', Sookie has been on the receiving end of enough of Eric's blood that he's wary of giving her much more, or else she'll be a vampire herself. This effectively cranks their relationship up several notches, since they thrive on each others' emotions.
* In ''Literature/HarryPotter'', Bill suffers from a mild version after being attacked by [[OurWerewolvesAreDifferent Fenrir Greyback.]]
* In ''Literature/GalaxyOfFear: The Planet Plague'', Tash gets increasingly irritable and angry, thinking of {{Revenge}} for her family, as a rash swells and spreads on her arm. Turns out it and her anger are connected. Eventually [[spoiler: it starts leaking BlobMonster ooze that starts moving around]], but it subsides when she makes herself calm down, and then she manages it until she can be treated and cured.
* In ''Literature/TheTroop'', people infested with [[spoiler: mutant tapeworms]] become ravenously hungry, progressing from BigEater to ExtremeOmnivore, smell like rotting fruit, lose weight incredibly rapidly, and develop golf-ball sized cysts on their bodies.

* In ''Series/TrueBlood'', Bill can, because he has had so much of Sookie's blood, tell when she's in trouble. Eric can as well.
* {{Invoked|Trope}} in ''Series/TheOfficeUS'', after an encounter with a bat trapped in the building, Jim starts faking symptoms of vampirism (getting burned on garlic bread, for instance) to fool with Dwight.
* Near the end of season 2 of ''Series/{{House}}'', with a real but unknown disease. The patient of the week goes through a series of symptoms: laughing at things one wouldn't normally find funny, then going blind without realizing it, followed by hyperalgesia and then cardiac arrest. And then, while testing the patient, [[OhCrap Dr. Foreman starts laughing]].
* In the ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'' episode "[[Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS4E18IdentityCrisis Identity Crisis]]", after going on a mission 'five years ago' (meaning five years before the start of the series), Geordi and his friend Susanna Leijten become extremely sensitive to light and fidgety. No, they're not turning into vampires, they're turning into aliens.

* In several UrbanFantasy series, the Alpha werewolf has supernatural connectivity and power over his pack.

* In ''Toys/{{Bionicle}}'', the first symptom of The Dreaming Plague is that the victim loses the ability to dream, which in turn leads to irritability, which escalates into violence and ultimately madness.

* In ''VideoGame/{{Darkwood}}'', a plague infects many people within an unknown Polish forest that turns them into feral monsters. The Protagonist himself has a case of HorrorHunger, no longer needing to eat and drink yet craving strange mushrooms growing in the forest. Fortunately his case is more mild than others; he’s able to still eat regular food and drink fresh water without issues, but as he continues to cook mushrooms and meat from infected animals into a [[FantasticDrug liquid concoction]] that he injects into himself to [[SuperSerum strengthen himself]], the abilities he gains noticeably makes him more like the vicious Savages and monsters in the forest. Looking at a mirror also reveals that his skin has turn an eerie pale shade of white, plus when he talks to people they notice his face has become disfigured.
* Symptoms of [[spoiler:Xehanort posession]] in the ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'' series include yellow eyes, pointed ears, and eventually [[WhiteHairBlackHeart silver hair]] and acting more like a ColdHam.

** Along with the usual sharpened canines, Lucy cites her senses becoming sharper then normal. Like she can see a speck of dust from across the room and hear several rooms beyond her bedroom wall. The protagonists also notice Lucy's ears are likewise becoming more oddly misshapen and the paler she gets after each bite. Indeed, after the third bite, it turns completely [[PointyEars pointed]] for a moment when she tries to "kiss" Arthur before Helsing stops her. When they see her again as a vampire, the ear is permanently pointed.
** Likewise when Mina is bitten the first time, not only do mini-fangs appear in her mouth but her hair likewise begins to grow out more. Even trying to style it and cut doesn't seem to stop it. [[spoiler: By the time the confrontation with Dracula, it's grown down her back, giving out bangs, and seemingly moving on it's own in a ethereal manner as she grows closer toward becoming a vampire.]]
* In ''Webcomic/SurvivingRomance'' the initial symptoms of a zombie infection are similar to that of a cold, most notably coughing. These are followed by bloodshot eyes, which quickly turn red with black sclera, and blue skin, as the infection reaches its high point. If you're infected by a bite, the area around it will turn blue much sooner.
* ''Total Undead Drama'': Happens to Leonard after he gets bitten by a newly turned Staci. Sky and Zoey manage to pull him away before he's drained and escape thanks to the coming dawn. But he later cite feeling strange and not himself, by nightfall he gain partial vampire symptoms like his fingernail getting longer, his ears becoming pointed and poking though his hoodie, red tint in his eyes and mini fangs on the side of his buck teeth. But what's more he starts speaking in a deep inhuman like tone and feeling the urge to act on some immoral thoughts he wouldn't otherwise.
--> '''Leonard''': It f-feels weird, as if I'm becoming something like a goblin or orc only more b-bat related. I c-can feel my body rippling and shifting! I'm t-trying to resist but it's so strong ''(Voice warping)'' like its a hidden part of me I wanna become. ''(Normal)'' N-No I'm a good wizard. A hero wizard! ''(warped tone)'' But maybe nothing wrong with dark wizardy either. The potential I could learn, a true king I can serve, the "fun" I can have once I show Tammy. ''(Normal tone, shaking head, in a fetal position)'' Ahh the lewd thoughts! The lewd thoughts! They won't go away! Someone help me! Help...''(warped tone)'' ...mmEEEMMMM Taaammmmy! ''(Wags his tongue which has suddenly become more fork like)'' HASSSS!

* '''Changes in appearance:''' UndeathlyPallor will kick in, TaintedVeins will appear all over the body, they'll show MindControlEyes, teeth, nails, and hair may [[OminousHairLossfall out]] or ''grow abundantly'' in the wrong places.

When a character becomes infected with TheVirus or a ViralTransformation, typically thanks to a run-in with a vampire, werewolf, space alien, [[NanoMachines nano machine]] [[HollywoodCyborg cyborg]] or weirder fare, the victim will take a while to change into their new form.
