Hantavirus infection in an active duty U.S. Army soldier stationed in Seoul, Korea.
Hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome has been described among the U.S. and the U.N. troops assigned to the Republic of Korea since the Korean War. However, this appears to be the first case in which infection was acquired during garrison duty in an urban environment.
