  • Title: Hantavirus nephropathy as a pseudo-import pathology from Ecuador.
    Author: Demeester R, Bottieau E, Van Esbroeck M, Pourkarim MR, Maes P, Clement J.
    Journal: Eur J Clin Microbiol Infect Dis; 2010 Jan; 29(1):59-62. PubMed ID: 19821128.
    Abstract:
    We report a case of hantavirus infection (nephropathia epidemica) diagnosed in a Belgian backpacker returning from a trekking expedition in Ecuador, after likely heavy exposure to rodents. Because of epidemiological inconsistency, molecular investigation was performed and revealed a Puumala infection acquired during very limited exposure in Belgium upon return.
