Cuando se encontró que la causa del brote había sido un hantavirus, otros gobiernos de la Región empezaron a prestar mayor atención a la presencia y a los efectos de los hantavirus en sus países. Esta publicación presenta un panorama amplio de lo que se denomina síndrome pulmonar por hantavirus (SPH), de sus manifestaciones clínicas, de los métodos para prevenir la infección y de las medidas tomadas por los gobiernos de la Región para vigilar los hantavirus y alertar a los profesionales de la salud y al público general acerca de la enfermedad. Este manual describe los diferentes hantavirus conocidos en las Américas y sus reservorios, la ecología y la zoología de los roedores, y la epidemiología de la enfermedad en seres humanos en la Región. Sobre estas bases, el manual analiza el cuadro clínico y el diagnóstico de la enfermedad; además, presenta normas para la vigilancia del síndrome pulmonar por hantavirus, para el tratamiento y el manejo de casos. También da instrucciones detalladas y fáciles de seguir para prevenir la infección en el hogar, el hospital y el laboratorio, así como para limpiar las áreas infestadas por roedores. La importancia de educar a los profesionales de la salud y al público general acerca de la enfermedad se recalca mediante ejemplos de estrategias de comunicación usadas en diferentes países de la Región. La publicación también presenta un resumen de los instrumentos de comunicación que pueden adaptarse para educar a diversas poblaciones acerca del SPH y otras enfermedades transmisibles.

Extractions: June 12, 1996 FIRST ILLINOIS HANTAVIRUS CASE CONFIRMED SPRINGFIELD, IL The Illinois Department of Public Health today announced that a northwestern Illinois man has died from hantavirus pulmonary syndrome, the first Illinois case of the life-threatening illness, which is spread by infected rodents. The man died in May at the University of Wisconsin Hospital and Clinics, Madison, Wis., after a short illness. The Wisconsin State Laboratory of Hygiene identified evidence of hantavirus infection from a blood sample and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) late last week confirmed the test result. State and local public health officials are investigating to determine how the man became infected. "This is a newly recognized disease that the CDC has indicated will cause isolated cases sporadically throughout the country," said Dr. John R. Lumpkin, state public health director. "People can take precautions to minimize the risk of becoming infected. These include avoiding contact with wild rodents, keeping pests from their homes and buildings through the use of rodent-proofing techniques and indoor pest control, and cleaning areas where you find signs of rodent infestation." Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome is a serious, often deadly respiratory disease, which may develop between five and 42 days after exposure to the virus. The primary symptom is difficulty breathing due a fluid build-up in the lungs. Other symptoms are similar to the flu fever; headache; abdominal, joint and lower back pain; and sometimes nausea and vomiting.

http://www.astdhpphe.org/infect/hanta.html

Extractions: What is hantavirus pulmonary syndrome? Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) is a rare but serious, and often deadly, lung infection. What is the infectious agent that causes hantavirus pulmonary syndrome? Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome is caused by the Sin Nombre virus. This virus is a type of hantavirus. Most hantaviruses attack the kidneys, but the Sin Nombre virus attacks the lungs. It infects the walls of the capillaries (tiny blood vessels in the lungs), making them leak and flooding the lungs with fluid. Where is hantavirus pulmonary syndrome found? Hantaviruses are found in rodents in different parts of the world. Each hantavirus has a preferred rodent host. The Sin Nombre virus is carried by the deer mouse, the cotton rat, and perhaps other rodents common throughout North America. These rodents live in semi-rural and rural areas and infest camps, old buildings, barns, and homes.

Extractions: Hantaviruses that cause HPS are carried by rodents, especially the deer mouse, common in Montana. According to the Montana Department of Health, field studies of rodents have shown infection rates average 15 percent in this state. They range from to 60 percent in some rural pockets. A small percentage of other rodent species have tested as positive carriers, so whenever there is evidence of rodent infestation, employees must take universal precautions to prevent exposure. Universal precautions mean treating all rodents as though they carry the hantavirus.

Who gets hantavirus infection? Anyone can become infected with hantavirus, but persons who have exposure to rodents or to rodent-infested areas are at highest risk of the infection. Is hantavirus infection a new disease? No. Outbreaks of disease compatible with certain types of hantavirus infection have been described in Europe and Asia since the 1930's. However, in the United States, there were no reports of acute disease associated with hantavirus prior to 1993. In the spring of that year, an outbreak of severe respiratory disease caused by a newly recognized strain of hantavirus occurred in the southwestern USA. It is now apparent that illnesses due to this strain occurred before the 1993 outbreak but were not recognized. How is hantavirus infection acquired?

Extractions: Home Search Mission About the Author ... Gear Sources Hantavirus You can become infected by exposure to rodent droppings, and in dry climates by breathing dust contaminated with the virus. This virus is carried by rodents, especially the deer mouse. The first signs of sickness (especially fever and muscle aches) appear 1 to 5 weeks later, followed by shortness of breath and coughing. Once this phase begins, the disease progresses rapidly, necessitating hospitalization and often ventilation within 24 hours. Prevention is the best strategy, and it simply means taking some very practical steps to minimize your contact with rodents. HPS is not contagious from person to person in the United States. Persons who work outdoors or do outdoor activities such as camping or hiking in areas where the disease has been reported should take precautions to reduce the likelihood of their exposure to potentially infectious materials.

http://www.rmbl.org/hantavirus.html

Extractions: Hantavirus Information Full Screen Hantavirus is an airborne fatal if contracted. Its primary host is the deer mouse which is so common here in Gothic; but all rodents, including chipmunks and squirrels, can be infectious. The nearest known incidence of hantavirus is in Ohio City of Gunnison County. There is no evidence that our local rodents actually carry the virus, but we would like to provide you with the information and means to take precautions, just to minimize the possibility of contagion. If you would like more specific information, the Director has an extensive file in his office. The virus is an aerosol . It is passed to humans through infected rodent urine, saliva, or droppings . Infection can come from after handling contaminated materials, to inhaling airborne dust from infected feces, to being bit by an infected rodent. Symptoms of hantavirus usually appear within two weeks of infection, but can appear as early as three days to as late as six weeks after infection. They include most symptoms of flu : chills, muscle aches, fever of more than 100 degrees, a dry cough, headache, nausea and vomiting. An additional symptom is difficulty breathing, which eventually results in pulmonary edema and possibly death. If you become ill with these symptoms, please see the RMBL doctor immediately. If we suspect hantavirus, you will be evacuated to a hospital that is set up for dealing with these cases, where you will have access to one of the two possible antiviral remedies, neither of which has as yet been proved effective but which are the only known treatment as of now.

http://www.sbcphd.org/ehs/hantavir.htm

Extractions: Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome What is Hantavirus? Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome was first discovered in the United States in May of 1993, when a number of deaths were attributed to an unknown pulmonary syndrome in the 4-corners area of the southwest. At the time, this virus was identified as the Sin Nombre strain of Hantavirus. The virus has since been identified in other states across the country including California and Santa Barbara County. How is it transmitted? Hantavirus is spread from wild rodents to people. Human to human transmission is not known to occur. The virus, which is found in rodent urine, saliva, and feces gets into the air as mist or dust from these excretions. Breathing this mist is the most common way of becoming infected; however you can also become infected by touching your mouth or nose after handling contaminated materials. What kinds of rodents carry Hantavirus? Technically, Hantavirus belongs to a group of viruses (9 so far) each with a separate rodent carrier. The deer mouse is the known carrier of Hantavirus found throughout the United States, except the Southeast and East Coast. (In these areas, the cotton mouse is the known carrier.)

Extractions: Disease Index NJ InTouch What You Should Know About. . . Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome What is Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome? Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome is an illness caused by an infection with the Sin Nombre virus, one of several hantaviruses that have been identified in the Americas. The disease was first recognized in the spring and summer of 1993 in the Four Corners area of New Mexico and Arizona. Who gets Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome? Anyone can get Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome. Most cases have occurred in the southwestern U.S., however sporadic cases have occurred in most other parts of the U.S. The frequency of the disease appears to coincide with the geographic distribution, population density, and proportion of carrier rodents that are infected. How is Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome spread? Rodents (principally mice and rats) acquire a lifelong, asymptomatic, chronic infection with the virus. They excrete the virus in their saliva and urine. Humans acquire an infection through direct contact with infected rodents, rodent droppings, nests, or through inhalation of virus particles from rodent urine, droppings or saliva that have become airborne through wind currents, sweeping of floors, or similar actions.
