Hantavirus

Seminars in Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2021
AbstractHantaviruses are tri-segmented lipid-enveloped RNA viruses belonging to the Bunyaviridae family. Human infection corresponds to a zoonosis associated with two different clinical syndromes: hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome that occurs in Asia and Europe and hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome (HCPS) that occurs in the North America, Central

Hantavirus Immunology

Viral Immunology, 2002
Two clinical syndromes are associated with hantavirus infection in humans: hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) and hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS). Autopsy findings typically reveal a common feature of increased permeability in microvascular beds, suggesting vascular endothelium is a prime target for virus infection.

Hantavirus

Primary Care Update for OB/GYNS, 2001
Although hantaviruses have been known to exist for over 40 years, they were thought only to be the cause of hemorrhagic fever and renal syndrome (HFRS) in Europe and Asia. Rodents are the primary hosts of hantaviruses, and humans become infected mainly by inhalation of viral particles in the rodent excreta.

Hantavirus infections.

Revue scientifique et technique (International Office of Epizootics), 2000
Hantaviruses are the causative agents of the zoonotic diseases known as haemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) in Europe and Asia, and hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) in the Americas. These pathogens are maintained in the wild by rodent reservoirs and are mainly transmitted via the aerosol route.

Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome

Heart & Lung, 1998
Abstract The number of known HPS cases in the United States is now more than 150, and the illness has occurred in all geographic areas of the country. Though the incidence of the disease is low, the mortality rate remains at 50%, owing to the difficulty in treating a simultaneous severe pulmonary capillary leak syndrome and cardiogenic shock ...

Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome

Infectious Disease Clinics of North America, 2010
Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome, also known as hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome, is a recently described infectious syndrome found throughout the Americas. Although infection is sporadic and uncommon compared with other atypical pneumonia syndromes, its high mortality rate warrants the maintenance of a high index of suspicion in rural settings ...

Hantavirus Cardiopulmonary Syndrome

Seminars in Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2007
Hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome (HCPS) is caused by infection with multiple types of hantaviruses throughout the Americas. All strains induce a pulmonary capillary leak syndrome with cardiogenic shock in severe cases, and almost all strains have an overall mortality rate of 35%. Some strains in South America are commonly associated with either mild

Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome

Southern Medical Journal, 1999
We present the first case of Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. The patient was a 50-year-old previously healthy white man, who had adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and hypotensive shock after 1 week of nonspecific "viral" symptoms. Despite supportive care, the patient died within several hours of presentation.
