What is hantavirus (Puumala)?

Hantavirus is a family of viruses transmitted by rodents through feces, urine, or saliva. The Puumala strain is the most common variant in Europe and the Netherlands, with the bank vole as the primary reservoir. An infection can lead to nephropathia epidemica — a milder form of hantavirus disease with fever, headache, and temporary kidney impairment.

Why should you get tested for hantavirus Puumala IgG?

The IgG test is relevant after experiencing a (suspected) hantavirus infection to confirm the diagnosis, or to determine prior exposure. Also useful for people with occupational exposure to rodents (farmers, forest and nature workers, military personnel) to assess immune status.

What does it indicate?

The presence of IgG antibodies against Puumala indicates a past infection with this strain. IgG develops 2–3 weeks after infection and remains detectable for life. The strain-specific result distinguishes Puumala from other hantavirus variants such as Hantaan.

What does a high hantavirus Puumala IgG level mean?

An elevated IgG titer indicates a past Puumala infection and suggests immunity against reinfection with this strain. In most cases this is not a cause for concern, but persistent complaints (fatigue, kidney issues) warrant follow-up with your doctor.

What does a low hantavirus Puumala IgG level mean?

A low or undetectable IgG level means you have likely not been previously exposed to Puumala. If a recent infection is suspected (complaints less than 3 weeks), an IgM test is more appropriate — IgM appears earlier than IgG.

Frequently asked questions

Answers to what people usually want to know.

How does it work from order to result?

After ordering we generate a referral letter and email you the instructions. You pick a collection point yourself and book an appointment there. Blood is drawn at the location, processed at the lab, and your result arrives digitally.

How quickly can I get tested?

Often within a few working days. How soon you can be seen depends on how busy the location is and the type of analysis. For specialist analyses we first ship collection materials, which takes a bit longer.

Do I need to book an appointment?

At most collection points yes. Some accept walk-ins. This is clearly indicated per location. You choose the location that works best for you.

Do I need to fast before the test?

That depends on the test. Whether fasting is required, and from what time, is clearly stated in the instructions you receive after ordering. No surprises at the counter.

When and how do I receive my result?

It varies per analysis: from same-day to a few working days. Standard values often come back quickly; analyses that go to an external lab can take a bit longer. You get an email with a link to your digital result, including a short explanation per value.

Where can I go for collection?

We work with 1,000+ collection points across the Netherlands. After ordering you'll see which locations near you are available and you pick where you'd like to go.

“Hele fijne en snelle service”

Hele fijne en snelle service! Ik contacteerde ze ‘s nachts omdat ik zsm moest bloedprikken, ik kon die ochtend nog terecht en heb dezelfde dag mijn uitslag binnengekregen. Echt top!!

“Klantenservice was erg behulpzaam in…”

Klantenservice was erg behulpzaam in het beantwoorden van mijn vragen. Ik had ook een extra setje buizen nodig als back-up en dat was geen probleem. Ik had een groot test panel besteld, maar de resultaten waren binnen 1 week binnen. Rapport zag er netjes uit.

ErnstVerified

“Snelle en goede service”

Je hebt de spullen snel in huis en het is duidelijk wat je daarna moet doen. Ook de uitslag heb je snel in huis, ik dezelfde avond al de eerste uitslagen. Bij een bepaling ging het fout, niet eens door het bedrijf maar door het bloedafname punt en die bepaling kreeg ik gewoon vergoed, ook het geld terug stond erg snel op mijn rekening. Vragen worden ook snel beantwoord dus al met al een positieve ervaring bij Bloedcheckup.nl

“Fijn bedrijf met geweldig veel opties…”

Fijn bedrijf met geweldig veel opties om zelfstandig je gezondheid in het oog te houden, als sporter een must want de dokters hebben toch geen verstand van wat relevant en anders is voor sport. Ook zeer tevreden over Stijn zelf! Aangename kerel en goed bereikbaar voor vragen en hulp tijdens bestellen :D

ZerinaVerified

“Amazing service!”

Received a packet with everything needed, went to a walk in clinic (Amsterdam DC Clinic) where my blood was drawn and I was out the door within 5 minutes, and then after posting the samples, received results 2 days later. Results were easy to understand as well. Amazing service, would highly recommend!
