Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome in Northern Alberta, Canada: Clinical and Laboratory Findings for 19 Cases
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We reviewed the clinical and laboratory findings for 19 cases of hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) identified either serologically or by immunohistochemical testing of archival tissue at our tertiary care center. Fever (95%), cough (89%), and dyspnea (89%) were the most common presenting symptoms. The most prevalent presenting signs were respiratory abnormalities (95%) and tachycardia (84%). Common laboratory findings included thrombocytopenia (95%) and leukocytosis (79%). Elevated aspartate aminotransferase and lactate dehydrogenase levels were found in all patients tested. Intubation was required in 58% of the patients, and inotropic support was required in 53%. Our study confirms that serological responses appear early during clinical illness, making the enzyme immunoassay a useful tool for the diagnosis of acute HPS. The mortality (26%) and severity of disease that we observed among patients with HPS appear to be less than those reported elsewhere.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
