Special Containment Procedures
Instances of SCP-3498-1 are to be contained in standard airtight containment cells. Personnel requesting to interact with instances of SCP-3498-1 are required to wear class-4 biohazard suits. Amnestics use may be granted to personnel after interacting with instances of SCP-3498-1. At least 12 vials containing SCP-3498 solution are to be kept in a secure cryogenic locker in the office of Dr. Eckert Letner. In the event of a breach of containment, class-A biohazard protocol is to be initiated.
Description
SCP-3498 is an anomalous form of bloodborne virus that alters the psychological and physical makeup of infected humans. SCP-3498 will enter a of 1-2 week incubation period upon infecting an individual. After the incubation period, individuals infected by SCP-3498 will begin to experience symptoms such as fever, nausea, dissociative amnesia, internal pain, and decreased motor ability. Upon development of symptoms, individuals infected by SCP-3498 are then designated SCP-3498-1.
About 2-5 days after the onset of symptoms, instances of SCP-3498-1 will begin to experience the long term effects of SCP-3498. SCP-3498 will begin to transform internal organs into miniaturized structures of Ptolemaic Egyptian architecture. Organs transformed by SCP-3498 will be either regurgitated or forcibly removed by SCP-3498-1. Despite the loss of major organs, SCP-3498-1 instances will remain alive.
SCP-3498-1 instances will enter a state of obsessive behavior about 2 weeks after infection, attempting to arrange removed organs in patterns resembling urban planning.
Addendum-1: The first known record of instances of SCP-3498-1 was noted by Edward Linderbough in 1908. Linderbough documented in his journal his encounter of a group of natives outside the Temple of Dakka, near the present day Aswan Dam.
Following Linderbough's departure, four vials of SCP-3498 infected blood were frozen and put into Edward Linderbough's personal collection. Following Lindenbough's death in 1913, the vials were successfully brought into Foundation custody.
Addendum-2: In 1997 an outbreak of SCP-3498 was discovered by Foundation personnel. The infected individuals were successfully brought into custody, and a full scale documentation process of the symptoms and effects of SCP-3498 began and was completed in 1998.
Approximately 5 months after the outbreak, fragments of the original mosaics at the Temple of Dakka taken by Linderbough surfaced.

Addendum-3 Instances of SCP-3498-1 have begun developing hostile behavior towards other instances of SCP-3498-1. Instances of SCP-3498-1 will now actively attempt to locate and attack other instances of SCP-3498-1. SCP-3498-1 will attempt to breach containment in order to attack other instances. SCP-3498-1 will vocalize messages directed at other instances at all times except during discharge of affected organs. A list of recorded vocalizations is available below.
