A young, physically fit\nNavajo man suffering from shortness of breath was rushed to a hospital in New\nMexico and died very rapidly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While reviewing the results of the case, medical personnel\ndiscovered that the young man\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s fianc\u00c3\u00a9e had died a few days before after\nshowing similar symptoms, a piece of information that proved key to discovering\nthe disease. As Dr. James Cheek of the Indian Health Service (IHS) noted, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I\nthink if it hadn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t been for that initial pair of people that became sick within\na week of each other, we never would have discovered the illness at all\u00e2\u20ac\u009d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An investigation combing the entire Four Corners region was\nlaunched by the New Mexico Office of Medical Investigations (OMI) to find any\nother people who had a similar case history. Within a few hours, Dr. Bruce\nTempest of IHS, working with OMI, had located five young, healthy people who\nhad all died after acute respiratory failure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sign_and_Symptoms\"><\/span>Sign and Symptoms<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Hemorrhagic fever with\nrenal syndrome<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) is a group of\nclinically similar illnesses caused by species of hantaviruses from the family\nHantaviridae. It is also known as Korean hemorrhagic fever, epidemic\nhemorrhagic fever, and nephropathia epidemica. The species that cause HFRS\ninclude Hantaan, Dobrava-Belgrade, Saaremaa, Seoul, and Puumala. It is found in\nEurope, Asia, and Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In hantavirus-induced hemorrhagic fever incubation time is\ntwo to four weeks in humans before symptoms develop. Their severity depends on\nthe viral load.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Hantavirus pulmonary\nsyndrome<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) is found in North,\nCentral and South America. It is an often fatal pulmonary disease. In the\nUnited States, the causative agent is the Sin Nombre virus carried by deer\nmice. Prodromal symptoms include flu-like symptoms such as fever, cough, muscle\npain, headache, and lethargy. It is characterized by a sudden onset of\nshortness of breath with rapidly evolving pulmonary edema that is often fatal\ndespite intervention with mechanical ventilation and potent diuretics. The\nfatality rate is 36%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome was first recognized during the\n1993 outbreak in the Four Corners region of the southwestern United States. It\nwas identified by Dr. Bruce Tempest. It was originally called &#8220;Four\nCorners disease,&#8221; but the name was changed to &#8220;Sin Nombre virus&#8221;\nafter complaints by Native Americans that the name &#8220;Four Corners&#8221;\nstigmatized the region. It has since been identified throughout the United\nStates. Rodent control in and around the home remains the primary prevention\nstrategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reference:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/\">https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/\">https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hantavirus mainly spread from the rodents that can be reasoned of various diseases in human, globally.
