Hantavirus is a rare but serious viral infection that can cause severe lung disease, even in otherwise healthy people. In this video, infectious disease physician Dr. Amesh Adalja explains how hantavirus is transmitted, why it is often mistaken for the flu in its early stages, and how it can lead to sudden, life-threatening fluid buildup in the lungs.
Dr. Adalja walks through the key symptoms, the underlying mechanism of lung injury, where cases tend to occur in the United States, and why early recognition is critical. He also discusses why there is currently no vaccine or specific antiviral treatment for hantavirus, and what practical steps people can take to reduce their risk—especially when cleaning areas where rodents may be present.
