This large atypical lymphocyte is an example of one of the laboratory findings, which when combined with a bandemia, i.e., immature white blood cells, and dropping platelet count, is characteristic of HPS (Photo courtesy of Centers for Disease Control and Prevention)

Molecular Assays Developed for Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome

 Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome (HPS) is a serious and often fatal disease caused by viruses known as hantaviruses. These anthropozoonotic diseases comprising of two clinical entities: Hemorrhagic Fever with Renal Syndrome (HFRS), which occurs in the Old World, and Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome (HPS) in the New World.
