7. Diarrhea
Diarrhea is defined as the passage of 3 or more loose or liquid stools in a single day. This is a non-specific symptom that is associated with many conditions. Depending on the duration of this symptom, it can be classified into acute diarrhea (usually lasts a few days) and chronic diarrhea (over 14 days). Diarrhea can lead to dehydration, and this is especially important in young children and elderly patients.
Diarrhea is a common symptom seen in the early stages of hantavirus infection. The lack of respiratory symptoms in this stage of the disease could lead to a misdiagnosis such as viral gastroenteritis or other viral conditions that may cause diarrhea and fever.
