Complement activation in Puumala hantavirus infection correlates with disease severity

Abstract

We showed that the complement system becomes activated via the alternative pathway in the acute stage of PUUV infection and the level of activation correlates with disease severity. The results further suggest that complement activation may contribute to the pathogenesis of acute PUUV infection.
