ABSTRACT
Viruses in the Hantavirus genus, familay Bunyaviridae, include a number of important pathogens that cause haemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) in humans. In 1995, 78 human serum samples (with haemorrhagic fever syndrome) which were negative for dengue antibodies, 92 healthy human and 58 rodent sera (rattus norvegicus, rattus rattus) were collected for the detection of hantavirus antibodies. Their sera were assayed at first by the IgG- capture ELISA test. These preliminary results showed that there was circulation of Hantavirus and it is a causative agent of haemorrhagic fever in human in some areas in South Vietnam.
