AI-generated Abstract

In February 2018, the first confirmed importation of Andes virus into the United States was reported following a woman who had traveled to the Andes region. A contact tracing investigation by the CDC and health departments identified and monitored 53 contacts, with defined high-risk and low-risk groups. Despite some low-risk contacts reporting mild illnesses, all tested negative for hantavirus. The investigation underscores the importance of contact tracing for managing potential Andes virus transmission, particularly in health care settings.
