Case report reveals fatal hemorrhagic Oropouche virus infections in two previously healthy women, highlighting the critical need for enhanced surveillance outside endemic regions.
We report acute Oropouche virus infections in 2 previously healthy women from a nonendemic region of Brazil outside the Amazon Basin. Infections rapidly progressed to hemorrhagic manifestations and fatal outcomes in 4-5 days. These cases highlight the critical need for enhanced surveillance to clarify epidemiology of this neglected disease.
