Clinical course up to 20 years after hantavirus infection
This is the largest and longest follow-up study of NE patients to date. Our findings do not support long-term kidney pathologies, or increased CKD incidence following acute NE. IgG antibodies persisted in all participants irrespective of duration of follow up, with no evidence of reinfection. While hypertension was frequent, causality with prior hantavirus infection remains uncertain. These results suggest that long-term kidney complications after NE are uncommon.
