  • Title: Acute hantavirus infection or renal transplant rejection.
    Author: Meier M, Helmchen U, Fricke L, Ulrich R, Schütt M.
    Journal: Transpl Infect Dis; 2007 Sep; 9(3):225-8. PubMed ID: 17692069.
    Abstract:
    Hantaviruses belong to the so-called emerging pathogens that are transmitted to humans by infected rodents and their excreta. In Central Europe, hantavirus infections usually occur in a mild to moderate form of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome. In contrast to the mostly benign or even asymptomatic course of hantavirus infections in previously healthy individuals, the acute hantavirus infection in kidney transplant recipients represents an exceptional situation regarding diagnosis and therapy. We describe the case of a 44-year-old kidney transplant recipient with acute renal transplant failure associated with acute hantavirus infection.
