Abstract

Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) is a severe infectious disease characterized by pulmonary oedema followed by respiratory disorder and shock. Hantaviruses infects the lung endothelium without causing any cytopathic effect. However, virus causes mircovascular leakage, which is the hallmark of HPS. The HPS associated viruses are member of genus Hantavirus and family Bunyaviridae. Hantaviruses worldwide are broadly split into the new world Hantaviruses, which includes those causing HPS, and the old-world Hantaviruses (including the prototype Hantaan virus [HTNV]), which are associated with hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS). Sin Nombre virus (SNV) and Andes virus (ANDV) are the most common causes of HPS. Case fatality of HPS is approximately 40%.
