Introduction
In general, hemorrhagic fever can be transmitted from person to person. Hemorrhagic fever is caused by the hantavirus (also known as epidemic hemorrhagic fever virus) and is具有一定传染性，因此存在人际传播的可能性。The main animals responsible for spreading hantavirus infection are the black-striped field mouse and the brown rat. If patients experience any symptoms, they should seek medical attention at a hospital promptly.
In general, hemorrhagic fever can be transmitted from person to person. Hemorrhagic fever is caused by the epidemic hemorrhagic fever virus (hantavirus) and is具有一定传染性, so it can spread between humans. The specific analysis is as follows:
Hemorrhagic fever is an infectious disease caused by hantavirus. The primary animals responsible for transmitting the virus are the black-striped field mouse and the brown rat. Rodents carry the virus in their excretions, which can form aerosols and infect humans through the respiratory tract. Infection may also occur by consuming food contaminated by rodents or through scratches or bites from infected rodents. In the early stages of illness, patients' blood and urine contain the virus, making human-to-human transmission possible. Additionally, if healthy individuals come into contact with the blood or bodily fluids of infected patients without proper protective measures, or use medical instruments such as syringes that have been contaminated, they may also become infected.
If a patient develops symptoms, it is recommended to seek prompt medical attention at a hospital to avoid delays in diagnosis and treatment.
