Detection of Hantavirus during the COVID-19 Pandemic, Arizona, USA, 2020

Emerg Infect Dis. 2023 Aug;29(8):1663-1667. doi: 10.3201/eid2908.221808.ABSTRACTWe identified 2 fatal cases of persons infected with hantavirus in Arizona, USA, 2020; 1 person was co-infected with SARS-CoV-2. Delayed identification of the cause of death led to a public health investigation that lasted ≈9 months after their deaths, which complicated the identification of a vector or exposure.PMID:37486231 | DOI:10.3201/eid2908.221808
