Human Leukocyte Antigens B8-DRB1*03 in Pediatric Patients With Nephropathia Epidemica Caused by Puumala Hantavirus

Abstract

In adults, HLA haplotype B8-DRB1*03 is clearly associated with a severe clinical course of nephropathia epidemica caused by Puumala hantavirus. We investigated whether the same applies in pediatric patients. This HLA haplotype was found in 20 of 39 (51%) of the patients, a significantly higher figure than in the Finnish population (19%). There were, however, no significant differences in the clinical picture between patients with and without HLA B8-DRB1*03.
