In June 2019, the Bolivian Ministry of Health reported a cluster of cases of hemorrhagic fever that started in the municipality of Caranavi and expanded to La Paz. The cause of these cases was unknown.
We obtained samples for next-generation sequencing and virus isolation. Human and rodent specimens were tested by means of virus-specific real-time quantitative reverse-transcriptase-polymerase-chain-reaction assays, next-generation sequencing, and virus isolation.
Nine cases of hemorrhagic fever were identified; four of the patients with this illness died. The etiologic agent was identified as , or Chapare virus (CHAPV), which causes Chapare hemorrhagic fever (CHHF). Probable nosocomial transmission among health care workers was identified. Some patients with CHHF had neurologic manifestations, and those who survived had a prolonged recovery period. CHAPV RNA was detected in a variety of human body fluids (including blood; urine; nasopharyngeal, oropharyngeal, and bronchoalveolar-lavage fluid; conjunctiva; and semen) and in specimens obtained from captured small-eared pygmy rice rats (). In survivors of CHHF, viral RNA was detected up to 170 days after symptom onset; CHAPV was isolated from a semen sample obtained 86 days after symptom onset.
was identified as the etiologic agent of CHHF. Both spillover from a zoonotic reservoir and possible person-to-person transmission were identified. This virus was detected in a rodent species, . (Funded by the Bolivian Ministry of Health and others.).
2019 年 6 月，玻利维亚卫生部报告了一起出血热病例群集，该病例群集始于卡拉瓦尼市，并蔓延至拉巴斯。这些病例的病因尚不清楚。
我们获得了用于下一代测序和病毒分离的样本。通过病毒特异性实时定量逆转录聚合酶链反应检测、下一代测序和病毒分离检测人类和啮齿动物标本。
共发现 9 例出血热病例，其中 4 例患者死亡。病原体被鉴定为 ，或查帕病毒（CHAPV），引起查帕出血热（CHHF）。确定了卫生保健工作者之间存在可能的医院内传播。一些 CHHF 患者有神经系统表现，幸存者恢复时间较长。在各种人体体液（包括血液；尿液；鼻咽、口咽和支气管肺泡灌洗液；结膜；和精液）以及从捕获的小耳小家鼠（）中检测到 CHAPV RNA。在 CHHF 的幸存者中，病毒 RNA 可在症状出现后 170 天检测到；CHAPV 是从症状出现后 86 天的精液样本中分离出来的。
被鉴定为 CHHF 的病原体。鉴定出了从动物宿主溢出和可能的人际传播。这种病毒在一种啮齿动物物种，中被检测到。（由玻利维亚卫生部和其他机构资助）。
