Description:

We report the first imported case of hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) in Europe. The patient, a 58-year-old man, traveled in Chile and Argentina from February 2 to March 2, 2001. A keen amateur botanist, he spent several days (February 17-23) on foot in Cohaique, Puerto Monte, and the sur- rounding rural areas collecting plant material. On February 24 and 25, he traveled by bus to Bariloche, Argentina. On March 3, shortly after he returned to France, he had a high fever (40°C to 41°C) with myalgia and headache. On March 18, he had dyspnea, which increased during the next 2 days. On March 21, he was hospitalized in the intensive care unit of the Centre Hospitalier de Compiègne, France.
