[Hantavirus disease during pregnancy].
Hantavirus infection is known to occur in mice and rats without symptoms. In contrast, an infection with Hantavirus in humans gives influenzalike symptoms and acute renal failure. The treatment is symptomatic, but treatment with dialysis can be necessary for a while. A case of Hantavirus infection in Denmark in a 30 week pregnant woman is reported.
