Generation of recombinant vaccinia viruses expressing Puumala virus proteins and use in isolating cytotoxic T cells specific for Puumala virus

Virus Research, 2002
Puumala (PUU) virus causes a form of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS), called nephropathia epidemica (NE), in Europe. HFRS is characterized by an increased capillary permeability, which we hypothesize is caused by hyperactivation of the host immune system, especially cellular immune responses.

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 ...

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.

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.

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 ...

Antibodies to Puumala virus in humans determined by neutralization test

Journal of Virological Methods, 1992
An assay for detection of neutralizing antibodies to Puumala virus using 96-well microtiter plates (NT-ELISA) was developed and evaluated. The test proved to have similar sensitivity and specificity as an IgG ELISA and indirect immunofluorescence test, when screening 187 sera (with an antibody prevalence rate of 19%) from normal populations in an ...

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 ...

Different cross-reactivity of human and rodent sera to Tula virus and Puumala virus

Comparative Immunology, Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, 2010
Tula virus (TULV) and Puumala virus (PUUV) are hantaviruses carried by the bank vole (Myodes glareolus) and European common vole (Microtus arvalis), respectively. PUUV is a causative agent of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS), while TULV is thought to be apathogenic to humans.

Dual infection with Puumala virus and E.coli

2009
E. coli is one of the most common pathogens of urinary tract infections, while Puumala virus causes haemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS), an endemic disease in Croatia. Both diseases in their initial phase can have similar symptoms such as fever, chills, shivers, lumbar pain as well as positive urinalysis.
