Acute Sin Nombre hantavirus infection without pulmonary syndrome, United States.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) occurs in most infections with Sin Nombre virus and other North American hantaviruses. We report five cases of acute hantavirus infection that did not fit the HPS case definition. The patients had characteristic prodromal symptoms without severe pulmonary involvement. These cases suggest that surveillance for HPS may need to be expanded.

Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) was first recognized in 1993 after an outbreak of acute respiratory failure in young people in the Four Corners area of southwestern United States (U.S.). The case fatality rate among these cases was 76% [1]. Fortunately, recent Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) surveillance data reports a decline in the case-fatality rate of 30 to 40% [2]. HPS...

In the past 20 years of surveillance for hantavirus in humans in the United States, 624 cases of hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) have been reported, 96% of which occurred in states west of the Mississippi River. Most hantavirus infections are caused by Sin Nombre virus, but cases of HPS caused by Bayou, Black Creek Canal, Monongahela, and New York viruses have been reported, and cases of do...

متن کاملNew York 1 and Sin Nombre viruses are serotypically distinct viruses associated with hantavirus pulmonary syndrome.
New York 1 virus (NY-1) and Sin Nombre virus (SN) are associated with hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS). NY-1 and SN are derived from unique mammalian hosts and geographic locations but have similar G1 and G2 surface proteins (93 and 97% identical, respectively). Focus reduction neutralization assays were used to define the serotypic relationship between NY-1 and SN. Sera from NY-1-positive P...
متن کاملPathophysiology of hantavirus pulmonary syndrome in rhesus macaques.
The pathophysiology of hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) remains unclear because of a lack of surrogate disease models with which to perform pathogenesis studies. Nonhuman primates (NHP) are considered the gold standard model for studying the underlying immune activation/suppression associated with immunopathogenic viruses such as hantaviruses; however, to date an NHP model for HPS has not be...
