Junin Virus - Book Test at Low Cost

Junin Virus is a viral pathogen that belongs to the Arenaviridae family and is responsible for causing Argentine hemorrhagic fever (AHF). It is transmitted to humans primarily through contact with infected rodents, specifically the Calomys masculinus species of rodents, which are common in agricultural areas of Argentina.

Junin Virus causes a severe and often fatal hemorrhagic fever in humans, with symptoms including fever, muscle aches, headache, fatigue, dizziness and gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. As the disease progresses, it can lead to more severe symptoms such as bleeding, respiratory distress, shock, and organ failure.

Diagnosis of Junin virus infection is typically based on clinical symptoms, history of potential exposure to infected rodents, and laboratory tests such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to detect the virus in blood or tissue samples.
