Early Chest Imaging in Patients with Puumala Hantavirus Infection

Conclusions: Early CRX commonly showed linear atelectasis and small pleural effusion in Puumala virus infected patients above 30 years of age. Chest HRCT most frequently showed atelectasis and smooth interlobular septal thickening. While uncommon, early and severe pulmonary involvement can be associated with Puumala virus infection, albeit these findings are not specific. Published on 2020-09-04 11:02:39
