A new JAMA Neurology article examines the neurological manifestations of hantavirus infection, a subject the authors say remains rare but can be severe.

“Neurological manifestations of hantavirus infection are uncommon but can be severe,” the authors write, adding that “prospective studies and experimental models are needed” to better understand these manifestations, their underlying mechanisms, therapeutic options, and clinical management protocols.

The brief was authored with Avindra Nath, MD, of the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, as corresponding author. Additional details, including co-authors, affiliations, conflict of interest disclosures, and funding, are available in the full article, which requires a JAMA Network guest access key.
