摘要

We initiated a study to elucidate the ecology and epi-demiology of hantavirus infections in northern Argentina.The northwestern hantavirus pulmonary syndrome(HPS)–endemic area of Argentina comprises Salta andJujuy Provinces. Between 1997 and 2000, 30 HPS caseswere diagnosed in Jujuy Province (population 512,329).Most patients had a mild clinical course, and the death rate(13.3%) was low. We performed a serologic and epidemio-logic survey in residents of the area, in conjunction with aserologic study in rodents. The prevalence of hantavirusantibodies in the general human population was 6.5%, oneof the highest reported in the literature. No evidence ofinterhuman transmission was found, and the high preva-lence of hantavirus antibody seemed to be associated withthe high infestation of rodents detected in domestic andperidomestic habitats
