Oropouche virus is detected in peripheral blood leukocytes from patients

Luciano Kleber de Souza Luna et al. J Med Virol. 2017 Jun.

Abstract

Oropouche virus (OROV) is a frequent cause of arboviral febrile disease in the Amazon. The present report describes studies done in two patients, one of them; the first OROV human case acquired outside of the Amazon, which have revealed for the first time the presence of OROV in peripheral blood leukocytes. This novel finding raises important issues regarding pathogenesis of human infections and may offer a new tool, for the rapid diagnosis of this neglected infection. J. Med.
