Isolation of sochi virus from a fatal case of hantavirus disease with fulminant clinical course

Clin Infect Dis. 2012 Jan 1;54(1):e1-4. doi: 10.1093/cid/cir746. Epub 2011 Oct 31.

Abstract

Sochi virus, a novel genetic variant of Dobrava-Belgrade virus, was isolated in cell culture from a fulminant lethal case of hantavirus disease presenting with shock and combined kidney and lung failure. Sochi virus is transmitted to humans from host reservoir Apodemus ponticus and must be considered a life-threatening emerging agent.
