Case report reveals orthohantavirus infection in a 65-year-old woman in Michigan, indicating local rodent transmission beyond typical southwestern United States regions.

We discuss a clinical case of orthohantavirus infection in a 65-year-old woman in Michigan and the phylogeographic link of partial viral fragments from the patient and rodents captured near the presumed site of infection.
