Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome
febrile prodrome followed by
– non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema,
– hypotension – shock

Hantavirus Four corners New Mexico
– May 1993 8 deaths April 5, 1994
68 cases in 17 states– Deermouse in New Mexico - principal
reservoir do not cause infections - found in saliva, urine, feces and is shed sporadically
-infected animals - blood, organs, saliva feces, urine.

Hanta virus ...continued– Humans visiting holding areas for
animals can become infected in five minutes.
– outbreaks of this and associated diseases have been observed in
