Abstract
AbstractThe first imported case of severe haemorrhagic fever in Sweden was reported in 1990. Despite extensive diagnostic study, no aetiological agent was identified. Following retrospective investigation with total RNA-sequencing of plasma and urine samples collected during between 7–36 days from onset of symptoms, we identified dengue virus 3 (DENV-3) and a human pegivirus (HPgV). We conclude that the patient most likely suffered from haemorrhagic symptoms due to a severe dengue infection.
