• Description:
  Hantaviruses are enveloped RNA viruses belonging to the family Bunyaviridae, for which a number of species have been identified, including the Hantaan, Seoul, Puumala, Dobrava-Belgrade, and Sin Nombre viruses. Each hantavirus is associated with a specific rodent reservoir. Hantaan virus, found throughout northeastern Asia, causes a life-threatening illness known as hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS). Main symptoms and signs of HFRS are fever, myalgia, severe vascular leakage with ascites and retroperitoneal edema and pain (abdominal, loin, or headache), shock, acute renal failure, proteinuria and hematuria, thrombocytopenia, and bleeding complications. Seoul virus, found worldwide, and Puumala virus, found in Scandinavia and Eastern Europe, cause mild forms of HFRS. Sin Nombre virus, found in the United States, causes hantavirus pulmonary syndrome, which is characterized by increased pulmonary capillary permeability and pulmonary edema and can progress to severe respiratory distress syndrome and shock as a result of low cardiac output.
