Hantavirus: 2013 Investigation of 2 Cases in Northern Arizona (50m Lecture)


http://www.cdc.gov/hantavirus
Last summer in Coconino County Arizona there were two Hantavirus cases that occurred within four weeks of each other. The first case perished from the disease and the second case survived. During the investigation of these two cases rodents were trapped and analyzed for Hantavirus. Recommendations were made to the families of these cases and public service announcements were publicized throughout the County. As a result of these two cases, Coconino County Health District collaborated with Northern Arizona University to conduct routine surveillance for Hantavirus to develop and provide updated education to local physicians and provide prevention steps for the public.
