Cluster of cases of hantavirus pulmonary syndrome in Alberta, Canada

Duncan Webster et al. Am J Trop Med Hyg. 2007 Nov.

Abstract

In May 2005, a cluster of four hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) cases was confirmed in Alberta, Canada. The cluster is unusual given that three cases were from a single family and involved a 7-year-old child. This is the first family cluster reported in Canada and includes one of the youngest cases of HPS reported in North America.
