Puumala hantavirus Infection in Humans and in the Reservoir Host, Ardennes Region, France
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2002 We compared the occurrence of nephropathia epidemica cases, over a multi-annual population cycle, in northeastern France with the hantavirus serology for bank voles captured in the same area.

Transient hypopituitarism in a patient with nephropathia epidemica.
BMJ Case Rep, 2009 Involvement of the pituitary gland is only rarely observed in hantavirus infection. This report describes the case of a patient who had transient hypopituitarism requiring hormonal replacement therapy due to hypophysitis as a result of Puumala virus infection. MRI studies revealed oedematous swelling of the gland as a morphological correlate.

Analysis of Complete Puumala Virus Genome, Finland
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2012 Puumala virus causes nephropathia epidemica, a rodent-borne zoonosis that is endemic to Europe. We sequenced the complete Puumala virus genome that was directly recovered from a person who died and compared it with those of viruses from local bank voles.

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.

Puumala Hantavirus Infections Show Extensive Variation in Clinical Outcome
Viruses, 2023 The clinical outcome of Puumala hantavirus (PUUV) infection shows extensive variation, ranging from inapparent subclinical infection (70–80%) to severe hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS), with about 0.1% of cases being fatal.

Animal Models for the Study of Rodent‐Borne Hemorrhagic Fever Viruses: Arenaviruses and Hantaviruses
BioMed Research International, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015 Human pathogenic hantaviruses and arenaviruses are maintained in nature by persistent infection of rodent carrier populations. Several members of these virus groups can cause significant disease in humans that is generically termed viral hemorrhagic fever (HF) and is characterized as a febrile illness with an increased propensity to cause acute ...
