  1. Hantavirus WKY University ACVPM Exam Review Marc E. Mattix, DVM, MSS Diplomate, ACVP Originally developed 2007

  2. Hantavirus Timeline • January 14 Patient hospitalized • January 15 Patient deceased • January 22 Diagnosis made • January 23-24 Investigation- 5 sites • February 8 Controversial site cleaned & reinspected • February 12 BOH technical review • February 16 County Commissioners briefed • Site owner noncompliance • No greater risk of Hanta • Cleanup completed ~2 weeks post-Dx • External review ~3 weeks post-Dx • No additional cases

  3. 10 Essential Public Health Services • Monitor public health risks • Investigate PH hazards • Inform & educate • Mobilize community partnerships • Support environmental health efforts • Enforce regulations that protect PH • Link people with services • Assure competent PH workforce • Evaluate effectiveness of PH services • Look for innovative solutions

  4. 90% score on independent March 2005 Local Public Health System Assessment 10 Essential Public Health Services • Monitor public health risks • Investigate PH hazards • Inform & educate • Mobilize community partnerships • Support environmental health efforts • Enforce regulations that protect PH • Link people with services • Assure competent PH workforce • Evaluate effectiveness of PH services • Look for innovative solutions

  5. BOH Guidelines • Public Health Goals • Prevent epidemics & spread of disease • Protect against environmental hazards • Guiding Principles • Assure decisions are grounded in science • Promote partnerships • Surveillance is key to prevention • Patient confidentiality is sacred

  6. Communicable Disease Program Standards • Effective surveillance reporting system • Communicable disease investigation & control procedures in place • Disease investigations begin within 1 working day • Evaluation of investigation & response • Public health communication • Communicable disease response procedures routinely evaluated

  7. Sin Nombre virus Genus Human disease BunyavirusLaCrosse encephalitis, others PhlebovirusRift Valley fever, sandfly fever NairovirusCrimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever TospovirusPlant virus, no known human disease HantavirusHantavirus Pulmonary syndrome -small enveloped RNA viruses -non-vector borne -maintained in >430 species of rodent hosts

  8. Well-adapted virus of rodents • Deer mouse (Peromyscus maniculatus) • First recognized in US: 14 May 1993 • “Four Corners Virus” • 80% mortality initially • 43% mortality in first 217 cases • Oldest retrospective case • 38 year-old Utah man (1959)

  9.

  10. 0 Cases 1-4 Cases 5-9 Cases >=10 Cases Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome Cases United States – as of September 19, 2006 Total Cases (N=453 in 31 States)

  11. Epidemiology • Exposure • Virus shed in saliva & excreta (urine & droppings) from healthy infected mice • Primary route: Inhalation of viable virus • Less common routes: • Direct contact • Mucus membranes • Ingestion • Incubation period • 2 weeks (few days to 6 weeks) • Highest incidence: Spring & Summer

  12. On presentation to Hospital • Rapid breathing & rapid heart rate • Low blood pressure • Dehydration (sunken eyes) • Respiratory noise (crackles & rales) • Most deaths occur within 24 hours

  13. Control • Personal protection • Minimize aerosolization • Control rodents inside • Control rodents outside • Eliminate food sources • Eliminate bedding • Eliminate shelter

  14. Report to local health authority • Isolation: none • Concurrent disinfection: none • Quarantine: none • Immunization of contacts: none • Investigation of contacts & sources • Recommend exterminating rodents in & around household if feasible

  15. Sin Nombre virus • Today in the US • 460 total cases with 35% case fatality rate • Today in Montana • 27 cases with 7 deaths (26% fatality) • In Context… • 14 years • 200 million US citizens • Cyclic 0-35% seropositivity in mice • Average 10% positive • Ubiquitous human exposure to rodents

  16. Human nature “One becomes interested in geology the day after the earthquake”
