Hantavirus: Expert weighs in on patient's symptoms and transmission

Dr. Janette Nesheiwat discusses a patient's experience with Hantavirus, detailing his mild symptoms of night sweats, chills, and fatigue. She questions whether it was Hantavirus or another virus, emphasizing Hantavirus is generally rare but can thrive in 'perfect storm' conditions like prolonged close quarters on a ship. Dr. Nesheiwat clarifies that Hantavirus primarily spreads from inhaling contaminated rodent debris and rarely person-to-person, except for the Andes strain.
