Renal insufficiency due to an orthohantavirus infection in the north of the Netherlands

Abstract

We describe a patient with an orthohantavirus infection in the north of the Netherlands. Orthohantavirus cases in the Netherlands are rare and most cases occur in the east of the Netherlands. Orthohantavirus infections should be included in the differential diagnosis in travellers and non-travellers, and patients from areas other than the east of the Netherlands if flu-like symptoms and acute renal insufficiency are present.
