AI Article Synopsis
- Hantavirus infections can lead to serious illnesses, commonly showing symptoms related to the lungs or kidneys.

Article Abstract
Illness caused by hantaviruses is often severe and is typically characterized by diffuse pulmonary disease or renal insufficiency depending on the type of hantavirus. Here we report 2 cases of hantavirus infection that resulted in severe cognitive impairment but did not have any pulmonary or renal manifestations. These 2 cases may be indicative of previously underreported symptoms of hantavirus infection and might represent examples of hantavirus-related encephalopathy.
