Abstract
We present the first case of Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. The patient was a 50-year-old previously healthy white man, who had adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and hypotensive shock after 1 week of nonspecific "viral" symptoms. Despite supportive care, the patient died within several hours of presentation. This case illustrates several of the classic hallmarks of hantavirus infection such as hemoconcentration, thrombocytopenia, ARDS, and shock.Entities:
