“…As observed from our statistical review, the mortality rate of pregnant women infected with HTNV/SEOV was 10.5% (27/256) ( Table 1), and that of those infected with SNV was 25.0% (2/8) ( Table 1). From the data we collected, the mortality rate of pregnant women infected with HTNV was The sequelae mainly include menstrual disorders, amenorrhea, no milk secretion after delivery, sexual dysfunction, hair loss, autonomic dysfunction, and chronic renal insufficiency (Hofmann et al 2012;Ji et al 2017;Howard et al 1999;Partanen et al 1990;Silberberg et al 1993;Prebensen 1997;Tiilikainen and Jouppila 1989;Jing and Jing 1994;Wang et al 1992;Sha et al 2000;Mace et al 2013;Dai 2004;Liu et al 2013;Georges et al 2008;Schneider et al 2009;Gilson et al 1994;Murthy et al 2016;Wang 2014;Zhang 1995;Duan et al 1996;Kim and Choi 2006;Zheng 1985;Cui 2005;Liu et al 2017;Todorovic et al 2010;Chen 2008;Xie 1994;Hao 1997;Ying 1984;Gao 2013;Chen 1994;Lu et al 2018;Li 2019;Ma et al 2003;Latus et al 2013).…”

Hantavirus infection is a global health challenge, causing widespread public concern. In recent years, cases of hantavirus infection in pregnant women have been reported in many countries. The infected pregnant women and their fetuses appear to have more severe clinical symptoms and worse clinical outcomes. Hence, to study the prevalence of hantavirus infection in pregnant women, this study will focus on the epidemiological distribution of the virus, different virus species penetrating the placental barrier, and factors affecting the incidence and clinical outcome of the infection in pregnant women and their fetuses. In addition, this review will also discuss the diagnostic tools and treatments for pregnant patients and provide an overview of the relevant future research.

“…Even though ARDS has been described as a complication of HCPS, case reports of hantavirus infection with ARDS are rare in available literature. Murthy et al from India described a case of HPS with ARDS and multiorgan dysfunction in a postpartum woman, in 2016 [ 4 ].…”

Hantaviruses are a large family of enveloped viruses with two medically important families Cricetidae and Muridae which are known to cause rodent-borne diseases worldwide. Some strains cause clinical syndromes with multiorgan involvement in humans such as hantavirus haemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) and hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome (HCPS), which is also known as hantavirus pulmonary syndrome. Clinical differentiation of this infection from other endemic infections in Sri Lanka such as leptospirosis and rickettsial infections is extremely difficult due to overlapping clinical and epidemiologic features such as exposure to rodents and farming. Here, we report two serologically confirmed cases of hantavirus infection from Sri Lanka with different presentation. The first patient had a combination of HCPS and HFRS. The second patient was treated for HPS complicated with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Both had a significant clinical, biochemical, and radiological response with early initiation of corticosteroids. However, further studies are required to assess whether steroids hasten the recovery of severe hantavirus infections. We believe that hantavirus infection is an important emerging disease in the country and should be considered as a differential diagnosis in patients presenting with an acute febrile illness as well as in patients presenting with ARDS. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment improve prognosis.

“…[32] Many reports from different regions of the nation are suggesting ocular involvement in HV infection, [33] coinfection of tuberculosis with HV causing renal disease in children, [29] and HPS in a postpartum woman has also been published in the past two decades. [34] In 2008, 28 individuals from the Irula community in Tamil Nadu's Vellore district reported HV infection. In 2016, a 12-year-old boy reported to have bleeding from the lungs, who later Mumbai died of the HV disease.…”

“…[27] Ribavirin has been used in clinical trials that decrease the fatality of HFRS, but not in HCPS. [27,34,40] Enhancing host interferon responses throughout the early phase may be a new treatment strategy for HRRS/HCP, but more work is needed to translate it into clinical practice. [13] Symptomatic and supportive therapy is the best way to control advancement toward life-threatening conditions.…”

Hantaviruses (HVs) are globally emerging pathogens that can cause varied disease syndromes worldwide. HV infections spread to humans from their natural reservoirs, rodents. HV infection can cause severe diseases such as HV pulmonary syndrome or “HV cardiopulmonary syndrome” and “hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome” in humans through contact with infected rodents urine, feces, saliva, and blood droppings. There has been significant improvement in the understanding of the epidemiology, pathological process, and environmental history of HV infectious after an increase in the number of outbursts in the United States of America and Pan- American countries. Many cases have been reported in India also since 1964. The main objective of this paper is to present an overview of the HV infection, which can be an emerging global threat.
