Nephropathia Epidemica and Puumala Virus in Austria

European Journal of Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases, 1999
To study the epidemiology of hantavirus infections in Austria, 1215 humans and 596 rodents of different species were tested for the presence of antibodies against Puumala and Hantaan virus. Direct virus identification by polymerase chain reaction in lung tissue of serologically positive rodents was performed to verify antibody results and to determine ...

Puumala virus in Croatia in the 2002 HFRS outbreak

Journal of Medical Virology, 2005
HFRS is an endemic disease throughout Croatia. The incidence of HFRS varies in a cyclic fashion, with peaks occurring every couple of years, coinciding with peaks in vole populations. PUUV was shown to be dominant pathogen during the last HFRS outbreak in Croatia in 2002.

Puumala virus Infection without Signs of Renal Involvement

Scandinavian Journal of Infectious Diseases, 1993
Five cases of Puumala virus infection without renal involvement are described. The main signs were fever, headache, chills and thirst. Pulmonary involvement was also common. Neither increased levels of serum creatinine nor abnormal urinalyses were detected.

Chronic renal failure after Puumala virus infection

Pediatric Nephrology, 1999
Chronic renal failure has never been described after Puumala hantavirus infection, which usually causes acute renal failure with spontaneous full recovery. We report a 15-year-old boy who presented with Puumala hantavirus infection and initial severe acute renal failure.

Nephropathia Epidemica (Puumala Virus Infection) in Austrian Children

Pediatric Infectious Disease Journal, 2010
From 2000 to 2007, 19 Austrian children (aged 6-18 years) had serologically verified nephropathia epidemica. Common clinical features were abdominal/flank/back pain, fever, nausea, vomiting, headache, and transient visual disturbances. Acute renal failure was present in 18 (95%) patients. All patients recovered completely.

Regions of importance for interaction of puumala virus nucleocapsid subunits

Virus Genes, 2006
Puumala virus (PUUV) is a hantavirus that causes a mild form of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome in northern and central Europe, and in large parts of Russia. The nucleocapsid (N) protein encoded by hantaviruses plays an important role in the life-cycle of these viruses, and one important function for the N-protein is to oligomerize, surround and ...

Hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome due to Puumala virus in Germany

Journal of Clinical Virology, 2016
In Germany Puumala virus (PUUV), known to cause mild forms of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS), is the predominating endemic hantavirus. We herein describe an unusually severe case of a PUUV infection that occurred in summer 2015 in South Eastern Germany in a region known to be endemic for PUUV since over ten years.

Ocular characteristics in Nephropathia epidemica or Puumala virus infection

Acta Ophthalmologica Scandinavica, 1996
Abstract. Purpose: We document the largest series so far concerning the ocular characteristics of nephropathia epidemica.Methods: A total of 37 consecutive nephropathia epidemica patients underwent a comprehensive ophthalmic examination during hospitalization for systemic infection, and a control examination after recovery.Results: The most common ...

Hemorrhagic fever (Puumala virus infection) with ocular involvement

Graefe's Archive for Clinical and Experimental Ophthalmology, 1998
Puumala virus infection (nephropathia epidemica) is a disease in the group of hemorrhagic fevers with renal syndrome causing ocular manifestations, e.g. transient myopia and changes in intraocular pressure.Comprehensive and repeated ophthalmic examinations of a previously healthy 35-year-old woman with acute Puumala virus infection were performed ...
