Puumala Hantavirus Viremia Diagnosed by Real-Time Reverse Transcriptase PCR Using Samples from Patients with Hemorrhagic Fever and Renal Syndrome
31 May 2007
Abstract excerpt
Puumala virus (PUUV) is the endemic hantavirus in northern Sweden and causes nephropathia epidemica (NE), a milder form of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome. There is a need for fast and reliable diagnostics to differentiate the disease from other infections. By aligning virus RNA sequences isolated from 11 different bank voles and one human patient, we designed a real-time reverse transcriptase (RT) PCR...
