“…The present study found no significant difference in seroprevalence by sex, similar to a number of other reports, although the male:female ratio of clinical 'epidemic nephropathy' cases may not be 1 : 1, and in Russia was reported as 5 : 1 [6,17,19,20].…”

“…Embora haja tendência atual para utilizar-se a técnica de ELISA, provavelmente mais sensível e específica 15 20 , os estudos que compararam os resultados da sorologia anti-hantavírus, por IFI e ELISA numa mesma amostra, foram variáveis. Na Suécia, os inquéritos sorológicos encontraram dados concordantes entre esses dois testes sorológicos 18 . No Brasil, de 134 amostras de soro (15 amostras séricas foram excluídas do estudo publicado por Travassos da Rosa et al 24 ) a concordância foi de 76,1% (102/134).…”

“…Esse dado está concordante com o estudo realizado na China 20 , mas difere dos relatos observados na Suécia 18 , onde a soroprevalência foi maior no genêro masculino. No Estado da Bahia, Travassos da Rosa et al 24 detectaram predominância da soroprevalência de anticorpos anti-Hantaan no gênero masculino.…”

“…In the Swedish endemic region the incidence of serodiagnoses was 7/ 100,000 (range 0.4 -12) (22), being highest in the Västerbot-ten province (64°N) with a maximum incidence of 23.5/100,000 (23). In Norway, in 1988 -97 approximately 50 cases occurred annually, a value corresponding to an incidence of 1.2.…”

This study presents data on 33,000 serum samples studied from July 1989 to June 1996 in Finland, with 6,701 serologically confirmed Puumala virus (PUU) infections. In addition, a PUU serosurvey of 8,000 sera from Finland is presented. On average, 957 PUU infections were detected annually, resulting in an incidence of 19/100,000; mortality was less than 0.1%. The infection was most common in the district of Ita-Savo with an incidence of 90/100,000. The seasonal peak was in November-December; however, the urban population had its incidence peak in August. Local epidemics mirrored bank vole densities, with 3-4-y cycles. Males contracted the disease at a mean age of 40 y, females at 44 y (male:female ratio 2:1). The disease was relatively rare in children and elderly people. The nationwide PUU antibody prevalence for women entering Finnish maternity clinics was 3%, suggesting 5% for the total population. The highest prevalences (7% for young women) were encountered in eastern Finland. In the district with the highest clinical alert, approximately 30% of all PUU infections were estimated to lead to clinical disease with serological confirmation.
