Viruses in the Hantavirus genus, familay Bunyaviridae, include a number of important pathogens that cause haemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) in humans. In 1995, 78 human serum samples (with haemorrhagic fever syndrome) which were negative for dengue antibodies, 92 healthy human and 58 rodent sera (rattus norvegicus, rattus rattus) were collected for the detection of hantavirus antibodies. Their sera were assayed at first by the IgG- capture ELISA test. These preliminary results showed that there was circulation of Hantavirus and it is a causative agent of haemorrhagic fever in human in some areas in South Vietnam.

By ELISA assay, 26 sample of rats (Lao Cai: 14 samples, Hoa Binh: 12 samples) were studies in the year 2002. Serum-positive results in suspective rats of Lao Cai accounted for 28.57%, Hoa Binh 25%. The rate of antihantanvirus antibody was 26.92% in both provinces, Positive serum sample in ELISA technique were verified with mediate immunofluorescein technique giving 14.2% positive in Lao Cai samples. The results were consistent with the epidemiological characteristics of Hantan fever, an endemic of mountain regions

42 samples of serum of Rattus novergicus in Ha Nam province were tested for Hantaan virus by ELISA and IFA methods. Results: 4/42 samples (9.25%) had anti-bodies against Hantaan virus. With IFA method, 2/4 samples were confirmed again. It is necessary to supervise serum of people in community and unknown fever

A study was conducted on 18 patients with Dengue hemorrhagic fever like symptoms in July 2004 at Hai Duong province. All 18 serum samples of these patients were negative to Dengue serology tests. ELISA tests had been used after that and shown the presence of antibodies (IgG) against Hantaviruses in one of 18 patients. Moreover, anti-hantavirus antibodies un this patient was also detected by using immunochromatographic test of Standard Diagnostics Korean company
