Hanta Virus diseasesHanta Virus diseases
Hantavirus infections are caused by a Hantavirus infections are caused by a group of viruses known as hantaviruses. group of viruses known as hantaviruses. These viruses cause two serious illnesses These viruses cause two serious illnesses in humans. They are hemorrhagic in humans. They are hemorrhagic (pronounced heh-meh-RA-jik) fever with (pronounced heh-meh-RA-jik) fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) and hantavirus renal syndrome (HFRS) and hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS). pulmonary syndrome (HPS).

Infection with Hanta virus is associated with Infection with Hanta virus is associated with Geographic distribution of Rodents and nature of Geographic distribution of Rodents and nature of the Virus.the Virus.
Hemorrhagic Fever with Renal Hemorrhagic Fever with Renal SyndromeSyndrome
The virus were first isolated in The virus were first isolated in 1976 in Korea from a Rodent 1976 in Korea from a Rodent Apodemus AgrarisApodemus AgrarisUrban Rats are to be Urban Rats are to be persistently infected with persistently infected with Hanta virusHanta virusRats migrate on trading ships Rats migrate on trading ships and disperse the virus world and disperse the virus world widewideHanta virus infection has Hanta virus infection has occurred in persons whose occurred in persons whose occupations place them in occupations place them in contact with Ratscontact with Rats
Hemorrhagic Fever – Renal Hemorrhagic Fever – Renal syndromesyndrome
Acute Hanta viral infection causes a Acute Hanta viral infection causes a Interstitial nephritisInterstitial nephritisLead to acute renal insufficiency and renal Lead to acute renal insufficiency and renal failure in severe formfailure in severe formGeneralized hemorrhage and shock may Generalized hemorrhage and shock may occur with case fatalities upto 5 – 15 %occur with case fatalities upto 5 – 15 %

Laboratory DiagnosisLaboratory Diagnosis
Detection of antigens by immuno Detection of antigens by immuno histochemistry,histochemistry,RT – PCR for viral antigen detectionRT – PCR for viral antigen detectionSpecific antibodies by recombinant Specific antibodies by recombinant proteinsproteinsA four fold rise of IgM antibody titer A four fold rise of IgM antibody titer between acute and convalescent serum is between acute and convalescent serum is diagnosticdiagnostic
