Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome caused by European hantavirus	2011-01-15		.txt	text/plain	2839	178	43	Lung computer tomography (CT) on admission revealed pronounced diffuse bilateral interstitial infiltrates with pulmonary oedema, dependant atelectasis, and moderate pleural effusions (Fig. 1 ) which were later drained (>800 ml). Hantavirus infection was verified with the detection of PUUV RNA in plasma (630,000 copies/ml) on the day of admission, while IgM and IgG were negative. Consecutive plasma samples were analysed for PUUV RNA with declining viral copy numbers until negative 16 days post onset of Fig. 1 Chest CT-scans of two European patients with hantavirus pulmonary syndrome. Concerning the cases of European hantavirus infection in our present report, there was only mild or no renal impairment at the time of admission, whereas the respiratory involvement was early and severe, consistent with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), fulfilling criteria of HPS according to CDC case definition [19] .	./cache/cord-000364-ikq38rm1.txt	./txt/cord-000364-ikq38rm1.txt
