The two main groups of hantavirus diseases are hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) and hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS). HPS, most commonly reported in the Americas, primarily affects the lungs and can lead to severe respiratory distress, while HFRS, found mainly in Europe and Asia, affects the kidneys and can cause bleeding and renal failure.
