Abstract
[Introducción]. El género Hantavirus pertenece a la familia Bunyaviridae, y su nombre proviene del río Hantaan, en el sur de Corea, cerca del cual se aisló originalmente el miembro prototípico, el virus Hantaan. Virus muy similares incluyen los Seoul, Dobrava y Puumala, que se distribuyen ampliamente en todo el territorio eurasiático y ocasionan diversas enfermedades llamadas de manera global fiebre hemorrágica con síndrome renal (FHSR). Ya en el decenio de 1930 se notificaron en Europa y Asia brotes de lo que en esa época se pensaba que era FHSR. A pesar de que en los años siguientes un número cada vez mayor de pruebas orientaban hacia un origen viral, fue en 1978 cuando se aisló el virus Hantaan, fecha en la cual se confirmó que algunos roedores servían de reservorio de los virus que causaban la FHSR. Con una incidencia anual de 150 000 a 200 000 casos, la FHSR se presenta de manera casi exclusiva en regions que no pertenecen al continente americano... Esta guía expone la epizoología y la epidemiología del síndrome pulmonar por hantavirus en las Américas; considera los aspectos clínicos y diagnósticos, así como el tratamiento del SPH, y hace recomendaciones para evitar y controlar la enfermedad por hantavirus en el continente americano.
