Differential Regulation of PAI-1 in Hantavirus Cardiopulmonary Syndrome and Hemorrhagic Fever With Renal Syndrome
نویسندگان
چکیده
We analyzed the levels of circulating tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) and plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI)-1 in acute hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome (HCPS) and hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS). The levels of tPA commonly increased in both diseases, whereas PAI-1 correlated with disease severity in HCPS but not in HFRS.

Hantavirus hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome is endemic in Europe and Asia, while hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome (HCPS) is endemic in Northern, Central and Southern America. The first case of imported HCPS involving an Italian traveller returning from Cuba is reported.
متن کاملA Nonfatal Case of Dobrava Hantavirus Hemorrhagic Fever with Renal Syndrome Combined with Hantavirus Cardiopulmonary Syndrome
Among hantaviruses (HTNV), 22 are known as pathogenic for humans. HTNV can cause two clinical entities: hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) and hantavirus pulmonary syndrome or hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome (HCPS). In most countries of Eastern Europe as well as in Kosovo, HTNV infection is presented mainly as HFRS. Here, we report a 20-year-old man with HFRS and HCPS caused by Do...
متن کاملEmerging infections: haemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome and hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome
Hantaviruses form a genus within the Bunyaviridae family and have a world-wide distribution. These negative stranded RNA viruses may be the cause of two different types of disease in humans: Haemorrhagic Fever with Renal Syndrome (HFRS) in Eurasia and Hantavirus (Cardio) Pulmonary Syndrome (HCPS), the latter seen mainly in North and South America. Here we will discuss important aspects of hanta...
متن کاملThe Hantavirus genus is widely distributed throughout the globe and causes two types of infections: hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) and hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome
Hantaviruses belong to the Bunyaviridae family, which consists of vector-borne viruses. These viruses can provoke two infection types: hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) – which occurs in the Old World – and hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome (HCPS) – an emergent zoonosis that can be found in many countries of the western hemisphere. Rodents are hantavirus reservoirs and each species...
متن کاملHantavirus RNA in Saliva from Patients with Hemorrhagic Fever with Renal Syndrome
Hantaviruses cause 2 zoonotic diseases, hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) and hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome. Infection is usually initiated after inhalation of virus-contaminated rodent excreta. In addition to the zoonotic infection route, growing evidence suggests person-to-person transmission of Andes virus. For this reason, we studied whether saliva from HFRS patients contai...
