Renal involvement due to European Puumala virus (PUUV) is frequent but pulmonary involvement is quite rare. We present here, a 24-year-old male with atypical clinical presentation of acute PUUV infection with gross pulmonary and minimal renal involvement. Severe pulmonary manifestations of PUUV infection, in this case, highlights that hantavirus infection should be considered in the differential diagnosis of atypical pneumonia.
由欧洲普马拉病毒(PUUV)引起的肾脏受累很常见,但肺部受累相当罕见。我们在此报告一名24岁男性,其急性PUUV感染的临床表现不典型,有明显的肺部受累和轻微的肾脏受累。在这种情况下,PUUV感染的严重肺部表现突出表明,在非典型肺炎的鉴别诊断中应考虑汉坦病毒感染。
