A Case of Hantavirus Renal Syndrome Detected in the COVID-19 Pandemic

Hantaviruses are enveloped RNA viruses in the Bunyaviridae family that cause rodent -borne zoonotic infections. They cause two separate diseases, hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) and hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome (HCPS), as a result of transmission to humans through contact with rodent excrements and inhalation. The form seen more common in T & uuml;rkiye is HFRS, which progresses with acute kidney injury and thrombocytopenia. Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease that ranges from asymptomatic infection to pneumonia, respiratory failure, and death.
