Oropouche fever cases in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil, 2024
This study contributes to the clinical characterization of Oropouche fever in an emerging urban transmission setting outside the traditional endemic areas. The findings support the need for including OROV in the differential diagnosis of acute febrile illnesses, strengthening molecular surveillance, and expanding awareness among clinicians in non-Amazonian regions.
