背景:登革热感染是由具有广泛表现的虫媒病毒引起的,从无症状疾病到非特异性发热疾病和休克出血综合征,可以进化到死亡。在巴西,自1980年代以来,该病毒随着许多新血清型的引入而传播,基因型,从那以后的血统。在这里,我们报告了与登革热病毒(DENV)谱系相关的致命登革热病例,直到现在为止。
方法:患者,一名58岁的男子抵达医院,抱怨由于胆囊水肿而发烧和剧烈腹痛,模仿急腹症。入院48小时后,他进化为难治性休克和死亡。在收集的所有组织中检测到DENVRNA(心脏,肺,大脑,肾,脾,脾胰腺,肝脏,和睾丸)。病毒测序表明,该病毒属于2型血清型,美国/亚洲基因型,在一个新的进化枝,以前从未在巴西发现过。该病毒与中美洲分离株的系统发育相关[波多黎各(2005-2007),马提尼克岛(2005)和瓜德罗普岛(2006)],最有可能从波多黎各抵达巴西。
结论:总之,这是在2019年爆发期间巴西新增2型登革热病毒相关的第一例系统性登革热感染致死病例.
BACKGROUND: Dengue infection is caused by an arbovirus with a wide range of presentations, varying from asymptomatic disease to unspecific febrile illness and haemorrhagic syndrome with shock, which can evolve to death. In Brazil, the virus circulates since the 1980s with many introductions of new serotypes, genotypes, and lineages since then. Here we report a fatal case of dengue associated with a Dengue virus (DENV) lineage not detected in the country until now.
METHODS: The patient, a 58-year-old man arrived at the hospital complaining of fever and severe abdominal pain due to intense gallbladder edema, mimicking acute abdomen. After 48 h of hospital admission, he evolved to refractory shock and death. DENV RNA was detected in all tissues collected (heart, lung, brain, kidney, spleen, pancreas, liver, and testis). Viral sequencing has shown that the virus belongs to serotype 2, American/Asian genotype, in a new clade, which has never been identified in Brazil before. The virus was phylogenetically related to isolates from central America [Puerto Rico (2005-2007), Martinique (2005), and Guadeloupe (2006)], most likely arriving in Brazil from Puerto Rico.
CONCLUSIONS: In summary, this was the first fatal documented case with systemic dengue infection associated with the new introduction of Dengue type 2 virus in Brazil during the 2019 outbreak.
