Key points
HPS / HCPS
Hantavirus pulmonary or cardiopulmonary syndrome is the Americas-focused severe respiratory and cardiovascular presentation. Andes virus and Sin Nombre virus are key examples.
HFRS
Hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome is the Europe and Asia framing. It primarily affects the kidneys and blood vessels, with severity varying by virus.
Why this matters for a live tracker
The MV Hondius event is Andes virus / HPS-HCPS context. China and Europe background burden should be shown separately so users do not confuse long-term surveillance with active cruise-linked cases.
