Respiratory Distress Syndrome |
||||||
 |
||||||
|
||||||
| Acute respiratory distress syndrome is one of two human diseases caused by hantavirus. Dust containing virus-infected rodent feces becomes airborne and is inhaled. The virus embeds in the lungs where the infection begins. Flulike symptoms appear in about a week, followed by the collection of fluid and white blood cells in the lungs, causing respiratory failure, then death. | ||||||
