The clinical presentation of hantavirus infections in India is unclear. We report here a case of hantavirus infection in a 46 year old quarry worker presenting with fever, abdominal pain, jaundice, thrombocytopenia and renal dysfunction. Seroconversion and rising anti-hantavirus IgG titers were taken as evidence of hantavirus infection. Clinicians should consider hantavirus infections in the differential diagnosis of acute febrile illness along with scrub typhus, leptospirosis and dengue.
印度汉坦病毒感染的临床表现尚不清楚。我们在此报告一例46岁的采石场工人感染汉坦病毒的病例,该患者出现发热、腹痛、黄疸、血小板减少和肾功能障碍。血清学转换和抗汉坦病毒IgG滴度升高被视为汉坦病毒感染的证据。临床医生在急性发热性疾病的鉴别诊断中,应将汉坦病毒感染与恙虫病、钩端螺旋体病和登革热一并考虑。
