Clinical note

Hantavirus disease presents as either Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome (HCPS / HPS — Americas, often severe) or Hemorrhagic Fever with Renal Syndrome (HFRS — Eurasia). Early symptoms are flu-like and indistinguishable from many other viral illnesses. This page is informational only. If you have a possible exposure and are symptomatic, contact your local public-health authority or an emergency department.
