Arenaviral haemorrhagic fever - what does this mean
Arenaviral haemorrhagic fever is a viral infection caused by a family of viruses known as arenaviridae. it is spread through contact with infected rodents or their excreta, and can also be transmitted from person to person through direct contact with infected bodily fluids. symptoms include fever, headache, muscle pain, and bleeding, and can be fatal if left untreated.
What happens during the disease - arenaviral haemorrhagic fever
Arenaviral haemorrhagic fever is caused by a group of viruses from the arenaviridae family. these viruses are transmitted to humans through contact with the excretions of infected rodents, such as urine and saliva. once inside the body, the virus replicates in the cells of the immune system, causing an acute inflammatory response and leading to a range of symptoms, including fever, headache, muscle ache, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and bleeding. in some cases, the infection can be fatal.
