Summary
We report molecular evidence of Tula virus infection in an immunocompetent patient from Germany who had typical signs of hantavirus disease. Accumulating evidence indicates that Tula virus infection, often considered nonpathogenic, represents a threat to human health. TULV, a broadly distributed virus in different parts of Eurasia, is hosted by common voles but has been found in related vole species [3].
