Treatment of Andes Virus (ANDV) infection
- is no proven, specific treatment for ANDV infection, and there is no preventative vaccine
- treatment is supportive
- clinical management of confirmed ANDV infection in England must be provided by specialist infectious diseases and critical care teams that are capable of safely managing patients with high consequence infectious diseases
- patients can deteriorate rapidly and confirmed cases in England should be transferred to an Airborne HCID Treatment Centre quickly, including consideration of whether extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) may be required
