These studies suggest that Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) symptoms include a febrile prodrome, severe noncardiogenic pulmonary edema, myalgias, nausea, diarrhea, high levels of cytokine production in the lungs, and potential renal manifestations, with diagnostic imaging showing ground glass opacities and interlobular septal thickening.
Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) is a severe respiratory disease caused by infection with hantaviruses. It is characterized by symptoms ranging from a flu-like illness to severe respiratory distress and organ dysfunction.
Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome manifests with a range of symptoms from mild flu-like illness to severe respiratory distress and organ dysfunction. Key clinical features include fever, pulmonary edema, and cytokine production in lung tissues. High viral loads are associated with disease severity. Specific symptoms and laboratory findings such as myalgias, nausea, diarrhea, thrombocytopenia, and hemoconcentration help distinguish HPS from other conditions. Imaging and histopathological findings support the diagnosis, and regional variations in clinical presentation may occur. Early recognition and hospital care are crucial due to the rapid progression of the disease.
