Hantavirus has an incubation time of 2–4 weeks in humans, before symptoms of infection occur. These symptoms can be split into five phases: Febrile phase: Symptoms include fever, chills, malaise, headaches, nausea, abdominal and Back pain, respiratory problems such as the ones common in the influenza virus, as well as gastro-intestinal problems. These symptoms normally occur for 3–7 days. Hypotensive phase: This occurs when the blood platelet levels drop and symptoms can lead to tachycardia and hypoxemia. This phase can last for 2 days. Oliguric phase: This phase lasts for 3–7 days and is characterised by the onset of renal failure and proteinuria occurs. Diuretic phase: This is characterized by diuresis of 3–6L per day, which can last for a couple of days up to weeks. Convalescent phase: This is normally when recovery occurs and symptoms begin to improve.
