1993年5月,一种独特的汉他病毒被确定为呼吸道疾病(汉他病毒肺综合征[HPS])爆发的原因,该疾病首次在美国西南部被发现。这种病毒的主要啮齿动物宿主Peromyscus maniculatus(鹿鼠)的栖息地遍布美国除东南部以外的大部分地区。截至1993年10月21日,HPS已在12个州向CDC报告的42人中得到证实(图1)。本报告总结了这种新发现的综合征患者的主要临床、病理和诊断结果;讨论了研究性抗病毒药物利巴韦林的使用;并提出了修订后的国家监测筛查标准。
A unique hantavirus has been identified as the cause of the outbreak of respiratory illness (hantavirus pulmonary syndrome [HPS]) first recognized in the southwestern United States in May 1993. The habitat of the principal rodent reservoir for this virus, Peromyscus maniculatus (deer mouse), extends throughout most of the United States except the Southeast. Through October 21, 1993, HPS has been confirmed in 42 persons reported to CDC from 12 states (Figure 1). This report summarizes major clinical, pathologic, and diagnostic findings in patients with this newly recognized syndrome; addresses the use of the investigational antiviral drug ribavirin; and presents revised screening criteria for national surveillance.
