Maripa Virus RNA Load and Antibody Response in Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome, French Guiana
Abstract
We report viral RNA loads and antibody responses in 6 severe human cases of Maripa virus infection (2 favorable outcomes) and monitored both measures during the 6-week course of disease in 1 nonfatal case. Further research is needed to determine prevalence of this virus and its effect on other hantaviruses.
