Seoul hantavirus could be an etiology of acute undifferentiated febrile illness in Colombia?

¿Podría el hantavirus Seúl ser una etiología de la enfermedad febril aguda indiferenciada en Colombia?

Hantaviruses are classified in two major groups called ‘’Old World’’ and ‘’New World’’ hantaviruses due to the geographic distribution of their rodent reservoirs (1). Old World hantaviruses (e.g. Hantaan, Seoul, Puumala viruses among others) cause hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS), whereas New World hantaviruses (e.g. Sin Nombre, Andes viruses among others) mainly target the lung causing hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) (1).
