Virologic investigation of a case of suspected haemorrhagic fever

After travelling in subSaharan Africa, an area known for sporadic cases of Marburg virus infection, a young Swedish man presented with a classical picture of severe viral haemorrhagic fever complicated by disseminated intravascular coagulation and septicaemia. Serum samples examined by electron micr...

description After travelling in subSaharan Africa, an area known for sporadic cases of Marburg virus infection, a young Swedish man presented with a classical picture of severe viral haemorrhagic fever complicated by disseminated intravascular coagulation and septicaemia. Serum samples examined by electron microscopy revealed particles of a size compatible with filovirions. Indirect fluorescent antibody tests indicated transient seroconversion to Marburg virus. In lymphocyte transformation assays of cells isolated from the patient 11 months after the onset of acute disease, Marburg viral antigen was able to stimulate lymphocyte proliferation 3.9-fold; however, exhaustive attempts to isolate virus from acute phase blood cultured in vitro or in vivo from guinea pigs and monkeys failed. Data suggest that this patient may have been infected with a filovirus. This case demonstrates the difficulties that may occur in laboratory diagnosis of viral haemorrhagic fevers. Après un voyage en Afrique subsaharienne où des cas d'infection par le virus de Marburg ont eu lieu, un jeune suédois a présenté un tableau classique de fièvre hémorrhagique virale sévère, compliquée par une coagulation intravasculaire disséminée et une septicémie. les échantillons de sérum examinés au microscope électronique révèlent la présence de particule de taille compatible avec celle des filovirions. Le test d'immuno-fluorescence indirecte indique une séroconversion transitoire au virus Marburg. La transformation lymphocytaire testée sur les cellules du patient isolées 11 mois après la première attaque de la maladie, montre que l'antigène du virus Marburg est capable de stimuler la prolifération lymphocytaire d'un facteur 3,9. Toutefois, tous les essais d'isolation in vitro et in vivo du virus à partir du sang de cobayes et de singes, ont échoué. Les données suggèrent que le patient pourrait avoir été infecté par un filovirus. Ce cas met en évidence les difficultés qui peuvent se produire dans le diagnostic des fièvres hémorrhagiques au laboratoire.
