Junin haemorrhagic fever - what does this mean
Junin haemorrhagic fever is caused by an arenavirus that is transmitted to humans through contact with infected rodents or contaminated food and water. the virus replicates in the body causing fever, headache, muscle pain, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and a rash. in severe cases, the virus can cause haemorrhaging, seizures, coma and death.
What happens during the disease - junin haemorrhagic fever
Junin haemorrhagic fever is caused by infection with the junin virus, which is a member of the arenaviridae family. the virus is transmitted to humans via inhalation of aerosolized rodent excreta or contact with contaminated materials. once the virus enters the body, it replicates in the lymphoid tissue, leading to the release of inflammatory cytokines and the production of antibodies. these antibodies can cause severe inflammation of the endothelial cells of the blood vessels, resulting in haemorrhagic symptoms. in some cases, the virus can cause severe neurological symptoms due to inflammation of the brain.
