3. Muscle Aches
Myalgia is a medical term that describes muscle aches. It is a non-specific symptom that is associated with many conditions. This is quite a common symptom seen in the early stages of a viral infection but it can also be associated with high-intensity exercise, autoimmune disorders, and many other conditions. Depending on the nature of the disease, it can affect small muscles like the ones in the hands, or large groups of muscles like the ones located in the legs, shoulders, or the hip.
The muscles in the legs and shoulders are usually the ones affected during a hantavirus infection. Nevertheless, it can also affect other muscle groups. The pain is usually debilitating and annoying for the patient and sometimes it can be quite intense.
