No Evidence of Prolonged Hendra Virus Shedding by 2 Patients, Australia

Year: 2012

Type: article

Abstract: To better understand the natural history of Hendra virus infection and its tendency to relapse, 2 humans infected with this virus were monitored after acute infection. Virus was not detected in blood samples when patients were followed-up at 2 and 6 years. Thus, no evidence was found for prolonged virus shedding.
