Overview

On x-ray, hantavirus infection may manifest as noncardiogenic pulmonary edema is characterized by alveolar infiltrates.

Chest X Ray

Hantavirus infections can lead to pulmonary edema which is usually non-cardiogenic. Patchy alveolar infiltrates with air bronchograms may be the suggestive findings.

This AP chest x-ray reveals the mid-staged bilateral pulmonary effusion due to hantavirus pulmonary syndrome, or HPS. From Public Health Image Library (PHIL).
