Version 2: Hantavirus infection in central Sri Lanka: An unusual clinical presentation: a case report

Hantavirus infections are emerging zoonoses. In Asia, the hantavirus commonly manifests as hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS), apparent with fever, thrombocytopenia, and acute kidney injury. There are a few cases with the atypical clinical course with cardiopulmonary symptoms in Asia including Sri Lanka. Here, we report a case of hantavirus infection with an atypical cardiopulmonary syndrome-like illness with serological evidence of the Puumala/ Puumala-like virus.
