South American Hemorrhagic Fevers: a summary for clinicians.
International Journal of Infectious Diseases : IJID 2021 Februrary 19
OBJECTIVES: This article is one of a series on acute, severe diseases of humans caused by emerging viruses for which there are no or limited licensed medical countermeasures. We approached this summary on South American Hemorrhagic Fevers from a clinical perspective, focusing on pathogenesis, clinical features, and diagnostics, with an emphasis on therapies and vaccines that have demonstrated potential for use in an emergency situation through their evaluation in nonhuman primates (NHPs) and/or in humans.
METHODS: A standardized literature review was conducted on the clinical, pathological, vaccine, and treatment factors for South American Hemorrhagic Fevers as a group and for each individual virus/disease.
RESULTS: We identified two treatments and one vaccine platform that have demonstrated potential benefit for treating or preventing infection in humans and four other potential treatments currently under investigation.
CONCLUSION: We provide succinct summaries of these countermeasures to give the busy clinician a head start in reviewing the literature if faced with a patient with a South American Hemorrhagic Fever. We also provide links to other authoritative sources of information.
