We describe a case of a 33-year-old male presented with fever, myalgia, nausea, and asthenia for six days. The patient lived in a rural area. Initial hypotheses included arbovirus infection, viral hepatitis, and Lyme disease. Reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) tests for Dengue, Zika, and Chikungunya resulted negative. We were able to recover complete S, L, and M segments of virus in the Orthohantavirus genome.
