In 1996, investigation of a hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) outbreak in southern Argentina found evidence of person-to-person transmission of a hantavirus. The infection control ramifications of this finding led to this review of hantavirus epidemiology in the United States; the review suggests that Sin Nombre virus infection is rarely, if ever, transmitted from person to person and that existing guidelines for prevention of HPS remain appropriate for North America.
1996年,对阿根廷南部汉坦病毒肺综合征(HPS)疫情的调查发现了汉坦病毒人际传播的证据。这一发现对感染控制的影响促使对美国汉坦病毒流行病学进行了此次审查;审查表明,辛诺柏病毒感染极少(如果有过的话)在人际间传播,现有的预防汉坦病毒肺综合征指南仍适用于北美。
