Hantavirus has been in the news lately. Although it’s rare, it can cause serious disease which can be life-threatening. Early symptoms are similar to other common viral infections including fever, myalgias, headache, and fatigue. As a result, the ability to establish an early diagnosis is challenging. Who’s at risk of acquiring Hantavirus? Does it have the potential to become our next pandemic? How likely is human-to-human transmission? Is there any effective treatment and what preventive measures should one take to minimize the acquisition of the disease? I’ll get answers to these questions in this podcast as we discuss Hantavirus. My guest is an infectious disease specialist, Dr. Stacey Rizza from the Mayo Clinic.
