Fatal Infection with Dengue Virus and Avian Orthoavulavirus 1 in Traveler Returning from Saudi Arabia to France, 2025
Abstract
A previously healthy 26-year-old man died of hemorrhagic fever with fulminant hepatitis and shock 36 hours after returning to France from Mecca, Saudi Arabia. Postmortem analyses detected low-level dengue virus RNA and positive NS1 antigen along with unexpected extremely high-titer disseminated velogenic avian orthoavulavirus 1 infection with elevated systemic cytokine responses.
