HPS is the abbreviation for which disease?

• A. Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome
• B. Human Pulmonary Syndrome
• C. Hominid Pathogen Syndrome
• D. Hantavirus Pneumonia Syndrome

Answer: (A)

HPS is used for a real, named disease: hantavirus pulmonary illness. The established term is Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome, a serious respiratory illness that can follow exposure to hantaviruses carried by rodents. Among the options, this is the only name that matches the recognized disease, so it is the correct pairing. The other choices do not reflect the standard disease name—there isn’t a recognized “Human Pulmonary Syndrome,” nor a “Hominid Pathogen Syndrome,” and the disease is not commonly called “Hantavirus Pneumonia Syndrome.”
