  • Title: [Hantavirus infection as the cause of haemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome].
    Author: Redal-Baigorri B, Chen Nielsen X, Martin-Iguacel R.
    Journal: Ugeskr Laeger; 2012 Oct 29; 174(44):2710-4. PubMed ID: 23121908.
    Abstract:
    Hantavirus is an RNA virus that can cause potentially fatal pulmonary and renal diseases in humans. Infections with Hantaviruses occur through inhalation of aerosol from rodent faeces, urine or saliva. The predominant virus type in Denmark is the Puumala virus, which causes the mildest form of haemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome, the so-called nephropathia epidemica (NE) with good prognosis (mortality 0.1-0.4%). The incidence of Hantavirus-infection in Denmark is about ten cases a year. The diagnosis of Hantavirus-infection is based on serology and/or polymerase chain reaction in blood or urine.
