Hantavirus Infection

Hantavirus infection is a disease caused by viruses from rodents, leading to two main forms: hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) and hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS). It spreads through contact with rodent droppings, urine, or saliva, and symptoms range from fever and muscle pain to severe bleeding or breathing problems. Treatment focuses on supportive care, and prevention involves avoiding rodent contact.
