“…La infección que establecen en los roedores es persistente y con poca o ninguna sintomatología. La trasmisión a los humanos se realiza a través de la inhalación o del contacto de las mucosas con material contaminado con excretas de roedores infectados, ocasionando síndromes febriles que van desde episodios banales hasta cuadros pulmonares severos con manifestaciones hemorrágicas (14). Viruses attack in a very close association with the reservoir rodent species.…”

“…El síndrome puede variar en gravedad presentándose en algunos casos como una neumonía viral con infiltrados intersticiales en la radiografía. Es probable que la gran mayoría de casos en las zonas endémicas no progresen al cuadro más severo con compromiso pulmonar y cardiaco, como ha sido descrito en Osorno, Chile (14,34).…”

“…Irritative cough comes along with signs of dyspnea, tachypnea of about 24 breaths per minute, and hypoxemia (14,35) and it is characterized by the lack of findings upon auscultation (Table 3). Tachypnea is a quite unspecific yet sensitive sign of disease progression.…”

“…The infection in these rodents is persistent, with little or no symptoms. Human transmission occurs by inhalation or when making contact with mucosa contaminated with infected rodent excretions, causing febrile syndromes ranging from mild episodes to severe pulmonary clinical conditions with hemorrhagic manifestations (14). The clinical characteristics of a hantavirus infection may differ depending on the virus species infecting the person; Américas tienen como reservorio a roedores silvestres Cricétidos (subfamilias Sigmodontinae, Arvicolinae y Neotominae) (12) excepto el caso del arenavirus Tacaribe aislado de un murciélago frugívoro del género Artibeus (13).…”

Hantaviruses are the causative agents of hantavirus pulmonary syndrome in humans in the Americas; The primary reservoirs are in the rodents of the subfamily Sigmodontinae. In South America, cases of hantavirus pulmonary syndrome caused by numerous viral genotypes have been diagnosed. In Colombia, different serological studies have reported the circulation of hantavirus in humans and rodents. These viruses act in an intimate association with a rodent species that serves as a reservoir and have a distribution around the wild rodent, being limited to a specific geographic region. In South America, the first HPS-associated hantavirus was described in 1993 in Brazil and was called Juquitiva and from 1993 to 2012, more than 1400 cases had been identified in Brazil. This syndrome should be suspected in all patients with respiratory distress syndrome of unclear etiology, in areas endemic for the disease, especially if accompanied by fever, marked leukocytosis and thrombocytopenia and bilateral interstitial infiltrates. Hemorrhagic febrile syndrome has not yet been described in the Americas. There are no clinical or laboratory signs that are pathognomonic of hantavirus infection. The treatment is based on adequate hydration, use of antipyretics and anti-inflammatories and patients with signs of severity should establish a more aggressive management. Triage is indispensable, patients with co-morbidities have a higher mortality risk and therefore should be hospitalized. Future research in Colombia should be directed to multidisciplinary studies that include viral isolation, different clinical forms of case presentation, epidemiological differences, risk factors, and taxonomy of viruses and rodents.Keyswords: Arenavirus, bunyaviridae, reservoirs, rodentia, public health (Source: DeCS).

Se debe sospechar de este síndrome en todo paciente con síndrome de distrés respiratorio de etiología no clara, en las zonas endémicas para la enfermedad sobre todo si se acompaña de fiebre, leucocitosis marcada y trombocitopenia e infiltrados intersticiales bilaterales. El síndrome febril hemorrágico aún no se han descrito casos en las Américas. No existen signos clínicos o de laboratorio que sean pato...

Introduction: Preventive care practices are a challenge in community care. This study examined hantavirus preventive practices and their relationship with personal and social factors, lifestyle, and cultural beliefs. Method: An explanatory sequential mixed methods design, guided by Leininger’s Theory of Culture Care Diversity and Universality, was used in two phases: (a) a cross-sectional relational design ( n = 109) and (b) ethnonursing research ( n = 30), in an endemic community in Panama. Univariate and bivariate analyses were used to analyze the quantitative data, whereas the Leininger’s analysis model was used to analyze the qualitative data. Results: In the quantitative phase, the most frequent preventive practice was household hygiene, and the least frequent was vector control. Two of the eight preventive practices were associated with personal factors and two were associated with social factors. In the qualitative phase, lifestyle, beliefs, and context were found to influence the adoption of hantavirus preventive practices and help explain the quantitative findings. Discussion: Knowledge and understanding of the social and cultural contexts are essential for hantavirus prevention.
