Hantavirus Cardiopulmonary Syndrome in Canada [PDF]

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2020
Hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome (HCPS) is a severe respiratory disease caused by Sin Nombre virus in North America (SNV). As of January 1, 2020, SNV has caused 143 laboratory-confirmed cases of HCPS in Canada.

Hantavirus Cardiopulmonary syndrome: Another Reason to Avoid Mice [PDF]

Journal of Investigative Medicine High Impact Case Reports
Hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome is a severe illness transmitted by rodent excretions. We describe a case of a 24-year-old man who presented to the emergency department with cough, shortness of breath, chills, myalgias, nausea, and diarrhea.

Bayou Hantavirus Cardiopulmonary Syndrome, Louisiana, USA, 2022–2023 [PDF]

Emerging Infectious Diseases
During 2020–2023, we sequenced Bayou virus from 2 patients in Louisiana, USA, with hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome. Direct virus sequencing demonstrated an inferred evolutionary relationship to previous cases.

A Nonfatal Case of Dobrava Hantavirus Hemorrhagic Fever with Renal Syndrome Combined with Hantavirus Cardiopulmonary Syndrome

Journal of Global Infectious Diseases, 2018
Among hantaviruses (HTNV), 22 are known as pathogenic for humans. HTNV can cause two clinical entities: hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) and hantavirus pulmonary syndrome or hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome (HCPS).

Hantavirus Cardiopulmonary Syndrome and Diffuse Alveolar Hemorrhage in the Era of COVID-19 [PDF]

Case Reports in Infectious Diseases, 2021
Hantavirus Cardiopulmonary Syndrome (HCPS) can occur after infection with Hantavirus which can occur by inhaling aerosolized rodent urine, feces, and saliva contaminated with the virus.

Spatiotemporal Dynamics of Hantavirus Cardiopulmonary Syndrome Transmission Risk in Brazil. [PDF]

Viruses, 2019
Background: Hantavirus disease in humans is rare but frequently lethal in the Neotropics. Several abundant and widely distributed Sigmodontinae rodents are the primary hosts of Orthohantavirus and, in combination with other factors, these rodents can shape hantavirus disease.

Platelet Count in Patients with Mild Disease at Admission is Associated with Progression to Severe Hantavirus Cardiopulmonary Syndrome [PDF]

Viruses, 2019
Background: Hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome (HCPS) has a mortality up to 35–40% and its treatment is mainly supportive. A variable to predict progression from mild to severe disease is unavailable. This study was performed in patients with documented

Incubation Period of Hantavirus Cardiopulmonary Syndrome

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2006
The potential incubation period from exposure to onset of symptoms was 7–39 days (median 18 days) in 20 patients with a defined period of exposure to Andes virus in a high-risk area.

Hemodynamic and Pulmonary Permeability Characterization of Hantavirus Cardiopulmonary Syndrome by Transpulmonary Thermodilution. [PDF]

Viruses, 2019
Hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome (HCPS) is characterized by capillary leak, pulmonary edema (PE), and shock, which leads to death in up to 40% of patients. Treatment is supportive, including mechanical ventilation (MV) and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO).

T Cells and Pathogenesis of Hantavirus Cardiopulmonary Syndrome and Hemorrhagic Fever with Renal Syndrome [PDF]

Viruses, 2011
We previously hypothesized that increased capillary permeability observed in both hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome (HCPS) and hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) may be caused by hantavirus-specific cytotoxic T cells attacking endothelial ...
