An imported case of #Bundibugyo virus #infection, #France, June 2026

 


Abstract

In June 2026, an intensive care physician deployed in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and previously vaccinated against Ebola virus developed fatigue, nausea and headaches while returning to France. Bundibugyo virus was identified with RT-PCR. The patient was treated with remdesivir and recovered fully. Contact tracing identified five low-risk contacts and no secondary cases. Stringent infection prevention and control measures and multidisciplinary collaboration are important when managing suspected or confirmed Ebola disease cases, even with low viral loads.
