Registry for Hantavirus Infections
Official title: Hantavirus Registry Gathers Knowledge on Epidemiology, Clinical Course, Prognostic Factors and Molecular Characteristics for Hantavirus Infections and Their Complications (HantaReg)
Run by University of Cologne · NCT04323904 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is collecting information from patients with hantavirus infections to see how the illness affects them and the costs of treatment, especially since these infections are becoming more common in Europe.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates include individuals with confirmed hantavirus infections exhibiting clinical signs of nephropathia epidemica, HFRS, or HCPS.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with serological or molecular evidence of hantavirus infection but without clinical symptoms of the specified syndromes may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This observational study aims to collect and analyze data on hantavirus infections, specifically focusing on hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) and hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome (HCPS). It will gather retrospective data from patients with confirmed hantavirus infections to better understand the clinical course, mortality rates, and associated healthcare costs. The study is motivated by the increasing incidence of hantavirus outbreaks in Europe and the need for more comprehensive data on these zoonotic infections.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance understanding of hantavirus diseases and inform better management and treatment strategies for affected patients.
How similar studies have gone: While there is limited data on similar registries, the increasing incidence of hantavirus infections suggests a need for such observational studies, indicating potential for success in understanding these diseases.
