Viral, Clinical, and Epidemiological Characteristics of Oropouche Fever in Southeastern Brazil
Cases appeared in clusters and rash was frequently observed. Symptoms returned after 1 week, indicating the importance of patient follow-up. Cases either lived near banana plantations or participated in recreational activities at waterfalls, raising concerns about ecotourism in the Atlantic Forest. Since OROV RNA was detectable in urine for a prolonged period, urine samples may be useful for diagnosis.
