Two Atypical Cases of Hantavirus Infections from Sri Lanka

Case Reports in Infectious Diseases, Volume 2018, Issue 1, 2018., 2018
There are two categories of hantaviruses resulting in two distinct illnesses. The Old World (Asia and Europe) viruses give rise to hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS), and the New World (Americas) viruses cause hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS). Hantavirus infections have very similar clinical pictures and epidemiology to leptospirosis. Here,

Human hantavirus infections: epidemiology, clinical features, pathogenesis and immunology

Swiss Medical Weekly, 2014
In humans, hantaviruses can cause haemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) or hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome (HCPS). Currently it is estimated that 150,000 to 200,000 cases of hantavirus disease occur each year, the majority being reported

Sin Nombre Virus and the Emergence of Other Hantaviruses: A Review of the Biology, Ecology, and Disease of a Zoonotic Pathogen

Biology, 2023
Sin Nombre virus (SNV) is an emerging virus that was first discovered in the Four Corners region of the United States in 1993. The virus causes a disease known as Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome (HPS), sometimes called Hantavirus Cardiopulmonary Syndrome ...

From Norovirus to Andes Hantavirus: Indirect Viral Transmission and Emerging Prevention Strategies for Cruise Ship and Confined Environments

Reviews in Medical Virology, Volume 36, Issue 4, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Cruise ships and other confined travel settings remain highly vulnerable to infectious disease outbreaks. During 2025–2026, multiple norovirus outbreaks and the rare Andes hantavirus outbreak associated with the MV Hondius cruise highlighted the continuing public health challenges posed by both highly transmissible enteric viruses and emerging

A Cluster of Three Cases of Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome among Canadian Military Personnel

Canadian Journal of Infectious Diseases and Medical Microbiology, Volume 2016, Issue 1, 2016., 2016
Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) is a rare illness in eastern Canada. We present three cases of HPS among military personnel in Quebec. The three cases shared a common exposure to mouse excreta while engaged in military training in Alberta, a western province of Canada.

Laboratory Data Analysis of Hemorrhagic Fever With Renal Syndrome Patients to Predict Disease Severity and Patient Prognosis

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, Volume 39, Issue 23, December 2025.
Prompt access to care with proper treatment is essential for preventing patients from developing renal failure and unfavorable outcomes. This study aimed to elucidate laboratory parameters associated with HFRS severity and prognosis to predict disease course and initiate prompt clinical management.

Unraveling the Mechanistic Links Between Species Diversity and Infection Risk From Zoonotic Pathogens With Direct Transmission Among Reservoir Hosts: Rodent‐Orthohantavirus Systems as Models

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 6, June 2025.
In this review, we synthesize mechanistic evidence for diversity‐disease patterns in rodent‐orthohantavirus systems in the Americas, models of directly transmitted disease systems. We found that host regulation has been examined the most while other mechanisms have received less attention. Based on our findings, we propose that for a negative diversity‐

Epstein‐Barr Virus‐Related Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis: Hematologic Emergency in the Critical Care Setting

Case Reports in Hematology, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015
Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a rare and potential life‐threatening clinical syndrome that results from uncontrolled activation of the immune system. Secondary HLH, more commonly observed in adult patients, is seen in the context of underlying triggering conditions.

Detection of Brazilian hantavirus by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction amplification of N gene in patients with hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2004
We report a nested reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay for hantavirus using primers selected to match high homology regions of hantavirus genomes detected from the whole blood of hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome (HCPS ...

Hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome successfully treated with high-volume hemofiltration. [PDF]

Rev Bras Ter Intensiva, 2016
Hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome has a high mortality rate, and early connection to extracorporeal membrane oxygenation has been suggested to improve outcomes. We report the case of a patient with demonstrated Hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome and refractory shock who fulfilled the criteria for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and responded ...
