    Dobrava Hantavirus Infection Complicated by Panhypopituitarism, Istanbul, Turkey, 2010
    (CENTERS DISEASE CONTROL, 2012-01-01) Sariguzel, Nevin; Hofmann, Joerg; Canpolat, Alper Tunga; Turk, Ali; Ettinger, Jakob; Atmaca, Deniz; Akyar, Isin; Yucel, Serap; Arikan, Ender; Uyar, Yavuz; Caglayik, Dilek Y.; Kocagoz, Ayse Sesin; Kaya, Aysin; Kruger, Detlev H.
    We identified Dobrava-Belgrade virus infection in Turkey (from a strain related to hantavirus strains from nearby countries) in a patient who had severe symptoms leading to panhypopituitarism, but no known risk for hantavirus. Our findings emphasize the need for increased awareness of hantaviruses in the region and assessment of symptomatic persons without known risk factors for infection.
